Description
This is a Camelia gall which grew in May 2011.
I can't bring myself to throw it away yet!
See it fresh Here

Looks like someone lost its brain :-) Excellent shot and super clarity :)

Nice!

This one is my favorite. I love the fall colors and the textures in this.

dttio helle and krittermom...it does look brain-like, and it has very autumnal colors. I had to look up "gall," as I didn't know the term at all. Wow...what a strange beast this is! And your flickr photo is downright primal. I can see why you saved it: Even shriveled, it's primal. Your isolating it against a near-black background makes it another museum shot (you've done several); while we can see the texture of the mat/fabric it's sitting on, it still is a "solo" shot against black. And the shot's composed perfectly from one corner to the other...Basically, Andrea, it looks like the kind of creature that grade B horror films were made about---like those pods that attack you when you're asleep, and turn you into a zombie. (Stay awake! Though if you have any neighbors you don't like...) Wonderful shot and vignetting, and another complete surprise of nature from you...

How interesting! I think it's fantastic in it's current form, but not sure I would have touched it when it was fresh. Wonderful shot. You have an amazing eye for these things!

I am reminded of the Elephant Man. A very striking image with a strange beauty all its own.
