 Got the title idea before I had a subject; found the fabric I envisioned at the local fabric store and experimented with different arrangements. This was my favorite for the different lights and shadows made by the spots and the 3-dimensional depth of the folds. This was a fun one to play with.

Shot outside in sunlight. PP - rotated, cropped, curves, resized, sharpened, reduced noise.

Interesting in an abstract way. Repeating patterns and all... I think if more of it was like the top center, where you have the light casting shadows showing more detail, I would like it better. As is, it's "ok". JMO of course. Good luck in the challenge.
