What gives this image it’s appeal? The reason I’m posting this image is that it’s a good example of the combination of colours and textures. It’s not new of course and fairly simple in it’s composition. But there are five distinct textures that are layered adjacent to each other and they’re combined with colours of varying intensity to create a harmonious image. Implied movement also plays a part. Finally the ship in the distance. Again, this is the jpg version of this image using the Nostalgic Neg simulation. The only editing that it underwent was auto contrast and then a slight reduction of saturation as additional contrast tends to boost it a little.
