    Really nice capture! Lovely enhancement! I bet it was real dull without the enhancement to liven up with the shine & colors, wasn’t it? Just wondering.

  • Dave Martsolf replied

    Hi Leilani, yes, it was duller than what you see here. but, on the other hand, how often do you go to a museum and everything is hands off or behind glass. This chunk of flat rock is a true fossil. Actually, it is more than that. It IS the seabed that became cracked and split during a dry spell, only to be covered up later with more preserving layers of sediment. This is the ACTUAL seabed from a billion years ago. And, it sits by the side of a walking trail where you can rub it, lay on it, even kiss it if you want to. Really amazing. So, duller is really only in the eyes of the beholder. Enjoy!

    It is a very beautiful macro Dave, the colours and natural textures of the stone are so rich.

  • Dave Martsolf replied
