Nice job on this one. I would have striven to make the shingles/bark very sharp and clear whereas you went for a more abstract textured/pointalist look. I like it!

very detailed close up. super capture.

Nicely done.

Very cool capture when I saw this, I thought of those who had chicken pox and now have shingles to deal with 'bout the same really Cool capture

Maybe this is also a good representation of the type of shingles caused by a virus too!

yes i see what you mean, makes a great picture

Thanks for sharing all these wonderful textures.

Super patterns and textures.

I love that texture. Imagine if we were small enough to walk through and explore that.

Beautiful texture and postwork

Yes, I can see that too; what a really fascinating texture this bark has, and you've really got in close for a super view!

yes, it does look like worn roof shingles. You know, I've begun to understand more of why some of your shots remind me of Depression Era shots. (This is hard to explain, bear with the clumsiness...) I think it's because some of the best Depression Era shots show decay and "process" nakedly. They don't flinch or pretty-it-up. (Not all shots from that era do that, but some do, where a 'naked eye' is at work.) I don't know if this is about 'decay', but it's bark that's chipping, peeling, drying up, etc. (And bark is the dying wood anyway, right?) So it's about decay in that way. (And decay isn't the bad thing we're often taught to see it as...it's nothing but a new form of life taking over.) Through closeup and postwork, you brought out the layers, repetitions, and the compiled over-and-over nature of shingles. Also, you gave us an unfettered portion of bark, which gives balance, and makes the shingled part really stand out. Love your eye; and you got a scintillating result.
