Do you like texture?

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Hi

I've been inspired by Lily Blue (if you have heard of her) and have been playing with texture.

I've used the filter called fibers.

Do you like the texture?

Cheers

This is a really nice photo Patrick. It has an ancient feel to it, something that reminds me of Greece, late 1940s.(Catch 22ish) The filter will work brilliantly with certain subjects, this is one of them.

Nice work.
Steve.

I really like it too. It gives the image a unique feel and the focus is on the kid, but still shows an importance of the dad in the picture.

thanks for your comments. :) It's Mrs Patrick here. :lol:

I like the texture too. You are right Steve, it will work on SOME images. I tried it on one of an orchid and it didn't work.

i'll go against the grain. the photo itself is stunning especially the colour treatment you gave it. but the texture ruins it imho. sorry. :(
