All about the textures and patterns and taken at an angle to give it a better flow...

large link is much better...

Interesting but for me, and a purely personal opinion, not on a par with most of your other work, which I enjoy - for some reason it appears a bit soft, though I don't think it is.

Thanks for the reply Gramps. Does the large link seem soft to you also? Maybe it's how I saved it. Nice to know you like most of my stuff. It's good to hear, thank you.

It does, but it could just be an optical 'thing' with such small texture changes, I don't know ... just doesn't look sharp.

Maybe up the Contrast alot?

contrast is pretty much maxed out. someone has mentioned elsewhere that it's too sharp!
barely added any sharpening though...
