Curtains by fotoblah

Curtains

Because I'm playing with lowering Clarity all the way. Also didn't want to miss a day. Yet.
I knew these were curtains at a glance, and yet I was impressed with the interesting play of light and shadow and texture and dimension, so it almost looks like... not curtains. Well done!

BTW, what did you take it with and what did you tweak it with?

@ahleena Thank you. I tried to make it not look like curtains but didn't have the confidence to give it another title.

Taken with a very wide angle zoom on an Olympus EM5. In Lightroom I used Temperature and Tint to convert sickly greens into icky browns, made big increase in Exposure, small increase in Contrast, big decreases in both Clarity and Shadows. No filters. I think most of the effect came from being backlit, narrow DOF and low Clarity.

@fotoblah very nice. Thanks for the info! If you'd turned it on its side, I probably would have never guessed what they were. ;D

Wonderful textures. I really enjoy mundane shots like this!

@ukandie1 Thanks
@ahleena D'oh! I like it much better rotated counter clockwise. Thanks for letting me see it in a new way.
