Hulk Texture

I even massacred one of these big blue IKEA bags in search of an interesting-looking texture, do you believe it? Well, these bags are sturdy, aren't they, and that small hole I clumsily cut into the blue fabric won't impair its carrying abilities. These bags are strong as Hulk, but not as green, and since the fabric's texture didn't look that interesting in close-up either, I continued my search, until this morning I noticed an old green, pretty battered clothes' peg that has long retired as a laundry helper and keeps the potato crisp (a guilty pleasure) bag closed so I won't eat them all at once ;) Not that I'd eat potato crisps for breakfast ;) This peg has plenty of texture, original texture in the form of the protruding rhombic pattern (for better grip), and acquired textures from a lifetime of being squeezed. This makes this little clothes' peg (that might as well be as old as me) a Hulk in its own right – and it's Hulk-green on top of that ;) 

What you see is a pretty small part of the peg's grip, a 5x5 mm / 0,19x0,19 inch section. I've illuminated the clothes' peg from behind and photographed it with the cheap little 30 mm macro lens because that gives me more magnification (2.5x) than the regular 1:1 of my 60 mm macro lens. It's also a single image shot in High-res mode (so I would be able to crop out the patterned part and still have a big enough file). Processed in DXO PL6, Color Efex, Analog Efex (Film type Bolton 1), and Lightroom (clarity, contrast, colour adjustments). 

I'm busy today and will catch up with you tonight! HMM, Everyone!
