Close-Up Textures

This one zooms way in on the surfaces we usually overlook, turning everyday materials into abstract, detailed studies of light and detail.

Examples of on-theme creations could include:

• scratched or polished metal shown up close with visible wear and reflections
• woven fabric or stitched cloth where threads and fibers become the focus
• rough stone or concrete textures highlighting cracks, grains, and edges
• layered paper or textured glass captured so close they feel almost unfamiliar

When creating your art, consider the following criteria:

• Creativity: Does your take on the theme feel original?
• Visual Impact: Is the image eye-catching and well put together?
• Relevance to Theme: Is the theme clear without needing explanation?
• Technical Skill: Does the entry show strong use of prompts and tools?
