Well, so it might be just me.
Sometimes (as in this case) I see the "warped" textures and think they 
are too obvious. It might just be the wiring of pattern recognition 
within my brain ;)
It also happened to me e.g. with the asphalt seen in the "Dodge in the 
parking-lot image". I did find it so distracting there that I did 
quickly trace() a few 10000 tiny stones on the ground to hide it...
