Textures always make for interesting subjects. I like your idea here. I think moving in a bit closer and reducing the bright area may help to enhance the visual and graphical quality. BTW welcome to Caedes.
You named this piece perfectly. It does look "rough," as far as the basket is concerned.
Great job on getting such a clean and crisp close-up of the basket. In doing so, you got some great detail in the weaving.
a lovely basket and potentially a very nice image if the composition were a little different. There seems to be dead space off to the right and I would love to see the whole basket. Overall I still enjoy the picture, however.
