Although I like the distressed red, white and blue tones, the textures and shadows make for a busy image. It might be fun to try using a macro setting and take shots of the laces, canvas, rubber - maybe even the carpet? - just to see what you get!

I agree with what krscully said. Also, it is a start,but what I would try to do is not use the flash on the camera and have the shadows come out in a different direction, like, per sie, sunlight. It adds for an overall interesting photo. Keep on experimenting!

At present there is no central image.Pulling back from subject would help.Clarity and focus are good;as mentioned play around with it a bit more....Jim

Thank you all for the tips... Excellent feedback. Appreciated!
