Description
I found this moss growing on a pedestal in Jacksonville, Oregon, when we were there in September visiting Claude and his wife.
There are many things we put on pedestals in our lives, but I think this is the sort of thing that actually belongs there.

(Zoom is nice.)

Superb capture Tara. God bless.
Very cool photo.
I think you are right Tara, nice shot.
Magnificent ...
NO! it does not belong there - I do! lol nice control of the light auntie.
Beautiful! I have some neighbours who allow these on the gate post caps, and others who jet wash them. Criminal.
Great capture Tara
Beautiful chiaroscuro, with lots of bathing dark around those beautiful mossy growths. It almost looks like it's growing in a mushroom cellar, or in a sanctuary somewhere...And in zoom, we really see the red "tentacles," which are beautiful. I like the ground in front too---how it's lit, and the feeling of solidity and complexity. It's another of your very sensitive pieces with deep darks and warm emergent lights; and as something you spotted while visiting Claude? It's perfect, because it has the kind of intensity, texture, and light that he does so well. It could almost be a small animal, resting...
Good eye for the subject.
zoom worthy for sure---all kinds of great details and color in this shot. nice one!!
Very original shot Tara! Bravo ! Congratulations
Excellent capture. I see this little community sent up lots of red shoots so everyone would notice.
Subtle, elegant, and lovely; the dramatic lighting really makes it!
Looks like a creepy space monster is attacking.
That is so cool, Tara! It looks like some alien creature just awakening, and about to rise and walk off! Or maybe it's just my overactive imagination! LOL
Lovely shot and great lighting.
Incredible lighting. For some reason, it evokes the movie Alien to me - as if this were some kind of evil alien spore...
What an amazing mystery looking photo, my friend. It could be a scene-shot in a film, which is a bit psychological, full of intrigue, and maybe with just a corpse discovered. You know, I put your photo art on a pedestal, Tara. Especially with regard to capturing a special light, you are a "front runner" for me!
