I think this is another of your totally captivating examples of seeing art in the details. How else could we enjoy the small perfections in this piece so well? I wonder if this is hand-made or machine-made. I see small differences, but that could be from varying tension on the material.
Smashing textures and details dude!! A wee bright as I see some flash workin', or so it seems anyway...perhaps a wee drop in the gamma in post could help create a more dynamic impression?? I know you don't like post work...just a thought.
LOL
