Challenge: Textures IV (Advanced Editing IV*)
Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: Nikon AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 VR DG IF-ED
Location: Home
Date: Apr 1, 2006
Aperture: f/16
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/100
Galleries: Macro, Floral
Date Uploaded: Apr 5, 2006

 Shot using a Canon 500D filter mounted on a Nikkor 70-200 f2.8 VR. I dig the delicate textures revealed by the light/shadow interaction. I am pretty sure that shot won't show enough texture for this particular challenge, but I had nothing better to submit.
It's been a long time since I had entered in a challenge. Hope it will do good.
Anyway, I am pretty satisfied with this shot even though the background is a bit lifeless and a tad boring.

What makes this work so well is your cropping (may even closer). It becomes about the shape, texture and color not the subject. Very strong work.

I rarely think of the tulip in textural terms, but this is a good exception.

You chose the finest of texture, and still managed to emphasize it. Very nice!

Very nice detail. I wish the background were either very black or very white. I'm not crazy about this slate color that I'm getting on my monitor. I think because it is very similar in tone to the rest of the image and I'd like to see the flower pop out more from the background.

This is lovely. The first thing that comes to mind isn't texture but it is a stellar clear well cropped macro with excellent colors.
