This makes me stare, so interesting! Are those billiard balls full size? The iguana is just the perfect touch.

Yes. Those are full-sized billiard balls. The car underneath is actually a 1985 Camaro. You'd never know, though. Thanks for looking.

Thanks, Beverly. I had some other shots that I played with for texture but I really couldn't top the number of textures on this. :-)

Thanks for looking. I do appreciate the nice comment.

Weird. It's also here:

I wonder if www.haymesimages.com has gotten itself nipped by the Great Firewall.

Thanks for the nice comment.

Wow Tom,

There's certainly more than a little variety of textures there. The stark flash takes something of it away for me IMHO, but a very nice choice for this week's topic.

Best Regards,
Kurt

Thanks for looking. I kind of agree. As I have mentioned in previous posts, I am stuck with the onboard flash. I did, however, like how it brought out the texture in this particular instance.

I thought about this one as an alternative entry but I thought the "texture" element wasn't as strong:

Thanks for looking and commenting.

Tremendous shot,Tom! This certainly takes the prize for the most number of different textures in one shot! Some people have way too much time on their hands.

I love it!

All best wishes,

Endre

Thanks, Endre. I'm glad someone has that time. I certainly don't but it really contributes to the richness of life that someone does.

Thanks for looking.
