 Macro of the front panel of my computer.

I thought with the excessive noise it looked like the sand under receding water at the beach.

This is a really great texture. Not a clear pattern for me, but I enjoy this.

the B/W conversion doesn't make this look like sand anymore ...

This B&W looks flat. I think colour would make it more interesting...

This is almost too subtle. If I squint I can see more of the ripples better so maybe more contrast would help?
