Anything with texture captures my attention.  This is a wicker ball that I put outside and started growing a vine on it.  It sits on top of a pedestal kind of thing which is cool.  I took a picture of the entire plant, ball etc, but found it much more interesting cropped up close.  Cropping can make a picture much more appealing and draws your attention to a specific area instead of getting lost in a lot of background.  It shouldn't be done on every picture, but can make certain photos stand out.
