Textures

Everything feels right about this image, I really want to touch the leaves. The light and shadow is perfect. The different shades of green work so well. Sometimes green can be rather overpowering but different tones here work well. The curving lines and water droplets add to the beauty, making the leaves look so alive.

This is such an unusual image, and is really enhanced by the shadow of the hand, it also gives it some danger, knowing that this is glass. You wouldn't want to cut yourself. The light refracting on the glass give wonderful patterns, and I love the subtle shades of green blue and orange. It looks as if it is a still from a science fiction film. The hand adds a lot to this image, and brakes up the horrizontal and vertical lines. If I was to change one thing, I may have cropped the bottom part of the image, as it is very light compared to the rest of the image.

This picture makes be want to put my hand in and feel the super soft texture of this beautiful bird. I even want to stoke the beak. The angle of the head is just right, with the sleepy eye and diagonal angle of the head. The eye of the bird is sharply focused, which is important in an image like this. If I was to change one thing, I may have darkened the edges a little.
