Thank you to everyone that submitted images for the "texture" assignment. The assignment was to "compose an image to enhance the viewers perception of texture, attempting to evoke a sensation in the viewer that they could reach out and touch (and feel) the texture you are portraying." Participants were reminded to use the the appropriate quality of light for their subject, with a rough texture with large features best illuminated by a “hard” light source, while a softer, finer grained texture is best illuminated by a soft light source.
It was obvious from the images that were submitted that participants had a lot of fun with this assignment. I think we were successful at freeing the creativity hiding inside several of the participants. Great job by all!
