Thanks Mark. Actually was trying to concentrate on just a small part of the jeans as opposed to the whole and came up with this one; but yes can see some liking it and some not. :-) Thanks for your candid comments.
LOL! Nope, this one keeps me a huge Vikas fan! I LOVE the warm-fuzziness of the ball. It's like the birth of the blue jean. I think it's a fantastic image and a winning entry! Love it, LOVE it, LOVE IT!! ~ Lonnit
Very close and short DOF make this one not as appealing as your ladder shot, for me personally. *It just seems as though nothing is really well defined for the eye to comfortably take in. Well, that was a mouthful wasn't it? Ofcourse, photography is art and for every one who feels the way I do, there will no doubt be others who find this shot extremely appealing. I've always admired your work (as you know), this one just isn't one of my favorites of yours (and I have LOTS of favorites of yours!! :-) Markjay
