textured iris

I am trying to figure out what direction to take my photography. The last few summers I have worked on my snail images but I haven't decided if I am going to pursue that this year. Today I wandered around my neighborhood with my camera to observe and capture what I saw. I have been doing so much composed photography that it felt very foreign to not be able to control everything and just shoot what was there. It will just be a mish-mosh on my feed until I find a new path.

 

Question - what are your thoughts on the texture? Too strong?
