great texture, detail, and composition

Fabulous texture and tones

[Gillian]

You've certainly nailed the challenge with this one, Sally. Lovely textures and patterns which certainly stand out more in this b&w one.

[Suse♡]

Oh I prefer this version, gorgeous, the b&w makes the textures & patterns really pop

[Dianne]

This is fantastic!!!!!! I love it, you nailed the challenge!

i like both of them but i am more drawn to this version as the centre is more pronounced, like it is embossed on the screen. the coloured version also has a slightly same effect, but, just that - slightly. although i'd tell you frankly, i'd hang them both on my wall.

@summerfield thanks so much Vikki, you really know how to brighten my day!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I like this one too! But I fav'd the other first!

[Kitti Nelson]

This is exquisite - I love the way it pulls the eye inward

[Kevin Wallace]

Wow!! This is a beautiful capture and processing is amazing! Thanks for sharing!!
