Most of the photographs that people take have a subject and a background. Even if there are multiple subjects in the image, there will usually be a separation between the subjects and the (preferably) subservient background.
Texture-style photos are different however. They have no subject nor a background . . . the only defining element to these images are color variations, and a multitude of small and uniform objects. In the case of this foliage photo that I took last week, the small and uniform objects are the individual leaves.
The key to getting good texture shots is to back up, and allow a lot of the scenery into the camera lens. The individual objects (leaves) should be small enough so that they lose their identity amongst their neighbors. The result is a painterly image, often inducing calm and tranquility in the viewer.
