Photographic Formative 2 Texture

This photograph works well for texture as it displays different types of texture within it. Even though the textures are completely different, all of them work together to make the photograph look unique and good. In the left area of the photograph, the texture is smooth, silky-feeling, shiny, and hard. The reflections in the wood show that the wood itself is shiny and smooth. It may look rough, but if you look close, it is smooth and hard. On the right of the photograph, the carpet is soft and slightly rough. It does not have a smooth surface or feel like the wood, but it is not as hard; it is soft. There are a lot of bristles in the carpet that creates the idea of the carpet being soft and rough at the same time. The shininess and flatness of the wood make it appear smooth and soft. The textures of both of these objects as a result are completely different. They still work well together in this photograph, creating a nice balance.

Effective composition and good texture. You have a creative eye for layout.
