Ed, wow really cool shapes and patterns in your image. The patterns jump off the screen with their mosaic qualities. Yes about the OOF URC. I do wish that was more in focus. A square crop may help here to eliminate that area. The lines remind me of trails or a ridgeline.
The backlighting works very well to emphasize the vein pattern. The OOF area does not bother me.
Very cool, Ed. I think cropping to avoid the upper right corner would be a good way to go with this.
I appreciate your comments and suggestions on this @Alfredo_Mora, @Bill_Pelzmann, and @Dennis_Plank. I’ve added a cropped version that I applied minimal cloning to, trying to match the area nearest along the Right side.
Wonderful texture and nice lines. Almost looks like rust. I do like the cropped version best.
Nice job on the crop and the touch-up, Ed.
