Couch Fabric

[BCarolan]

My third post. Hope this is in the correct section. This is a piece of fabric from our couch. Please let me know your thoughts. Thx.

Good sharpness, and an interesting diagonal composition. The foreground and background areas are obviously out of focus, probably because of the angle of the camera in relation to the fabric. This could be fixed by either shooting from directly above the fabric (or any 90 degree relationship) or by doing several images with different focal points and combining them after the shoot. It also might be possible to use a numerically high enough aperture to compensate for the angle you used, but diffraction loss can hurt sharpness. A little softer i.e., diffused, light might also make a more appealing image.

There's also the possibility of lens tilting to get the flat surface sharp in a single shot, using bellows.
