QT: Daily Challenge Rejects - [Silk Weaver] original QT by @beastsg This isn't the one I submitted. I liked this one too tho. It's sometimes really hard to choose which one goes in.

About this image

A skilled artisan in an elegant traditional robe sits at a brass loom, weaving under warm amber light. The studio blends East Asian aesthetics with steampunk machinery, featuring hanging lanterns, gears, and a celestial tapestry of mountains beneath a moonlit sky, creating a moody, dreamlike atmosphere.

I think sometimes two things are equally good but the mood is different. So then I often choose teh one that matches closer to my mood that day. But I also think you're right. If something is Wow! , then you don't keep making another picture. You're done because that one is it. If you have 2 images you like equally well, it means you kept generating so somethow both of them maybe come close but something in your mind is still whispering, just one more...

It happens to me all the time; sometimes I think, if I don't know which one to choose, it's because they're not as good as I think. When it's really good, you automatically know it.

I had a hard time choosing too. I kept flipping back and forth. One is moon and one is sunset/twilight. in the end I went with moonlight. I seem to be on a moon kick

I would have submitted this because everyone is only doing colorful threads and this goes one step further to show landscapes on the fabric. Fantastic work!

It usually is. Until something spectacular comes and then it's --- oh this one!

thank you for thoughtful feedback. I appreciate it. It's hard to know what to choose sometimes. I had a hard time choosing this time. I think they were equally good but different moods.
