texture

Out of the two photos (one before this, although it could be from different PTs) I prefer this one more, because of the even lighting. I can really feel the textures here PT. personally I would like a little more contrast but this works too.

Yes, more contrast is needed. You have a very nice texture in this one, and I think the nice patterns you have would benefit some contrast.

 

Add a tad of blue here and there, plus the contrast, and you have a nice representation of the earth seen from the space. Looks like the satellite views on Google Maps.

 

Overall, nice find and good theme fit PT.

After reading the above comments I've replaced the original version by a

contrast-enanced version. For discussions-sake (and honnesty also) I've put

the original pic here. Hope it is "allowed". If not, please, focalizers let me know :)

 

 

Usually, you leave the version you loaded as the main photo, and add any other versions in your comment. The inverse that you did, but it's no big deals.

I think you could go even further in the manipulation of the photo to bring out more of the yellowish green. With textures like this "excessive" sharpening can work surprisingly well too.

 

Reminds me of my garden wall ... at least five years overdue for repainting but so much more interesting that a uniform surface. Thanks Stephane for the earth map connection, I like that idea.

PT, I love the patterns of line and color. I would suggest a strong side light to bring out more of the texture. It would give more depth to the peeling paint.
