This is a section of the folds in the tarp on my roof right now that is protecting a weak spot from the heavy rains that we have recently experienced. The lighting is exquisite IMHO due to the late afternoon sun.
Amazingly, the entire tarp is brown. The blue was created surprisingly enough, even to me, by the angle and lighting of the late-day sun on the folds.
I hope that you enjoy this image! Thanks... :)

Here's Your Critique and Feedback as requested! :D
The goal of the Puzzle Macro Challenge was to create an interesting, detailed, piece of photographic art without presenting exactly what the viewer was looking at. You did a very good job of hiding your subject in the photo, but overall the isn't very eye-grabbing. You made up for your relatively simple subject with color, Depth of Field, lighting and luminosity. The colors are outstanding, probably the best part of the photo. Next to that is the luminosity of the tarp and the brown stripe, almost giving it a glow-effect.The depth of field is fantastic and make the difference between a 4.4 and a 5.4! A combination of those three factors really makes the photo pop, come off as a painting, it's very, pretty. There is one major factor that kept me from voting this a 6. This would be the fold in the tarp in the upper-left. For me, had that continued onward, you wouldn't have that diagonal drop-off of the tarp taking the focus away from the luminous brown-stripe. Your score would've been higher had the tarp been in a slightly different position when you took the photo. In colclusion, there's only so much you can do with a tarp in photography, and you did just about as much as could be done with this subject. Hope that was helpful to you!
