Spiky and Smooth

[Anita Bower]

I thought the contrast between the spiky spruce needles and the smooth softness of the raindrop might meet this week's theme, which has captured my imagination. Thank you to those who thought it up!

I added several textures, but didn't keep a record of which ones. Basic adjustments.

Anita, I feel the tension between the spikes and the texture and it comes across as lovely. The diagonal composition is very nice. Love that color!

Nice work, Anita, the contrast you created with the needles makes you almost feel their sharpness. Another good choice of subject to communicate sense of touch.

I also like this one very much! The colors, textures and diagonal comp really come together to form a nice mood between the different soft/spiky tensions.
