this one would be a cool one to enter into the angles photography contest too! nice pic, but where's the wood knot?

Maybe knots are not in the foreground ..but I see at least seven

Considering the theme is knots.... they should be in the foreground.... at the very least the subject.

The guidelines also speak of patterns .. and I tried to convey the idea
If you think the photo is off topic, red flag.
If you think the photo is bad do not vote .. No hard feelings but I think this discussion is useless

good effort, could use some contrast imo, to give it some depth.....it is a little flat.....also, do you have hi res

agree with Ade, a little hard to see the details.

ok, done, Ade and friiskiwi, thanks for the advice. Is this better?

mmm, a little but could still us a little more contrast and maybe lower the curves a bit.....imo
