Such beautiful colours and textures Picketty, we are so lucky in Australia with a wonderful variety of amazing native trees and plants. Excellent shot!!
I love the textures in this bark – your composition and exposure has helped this photo to feel like I am actually standing in front of the tree. Well done!
this is just stunning ~ I came over to give congrats for being featured ~ and now I see why ~ just love the rippling as much as the form and color of it all ~ truly one to gaze at for a long time and enjoy all its beauty ~ bravo!!
Congratulations Picketty – looks fabulous. This reminds me of a time, a few years ago, when I was creating a new website for a video group, and I was looking for an interesting palette of colours to use. That morning I walked close by a tree just like the one you have photographed, and cried out “Eureka!” – I photographed it (digitally) then used colour sampler back on my computer to define the colours. So your photo took me back to admiring Nature’s beautiful choice of colour. Keith.
Cant remember but I know I rotated the image and I probably tweaked the saturation…....I am probably not a good candidate for that group as I can’t resist fiddling!!!!!!!

I agree with all of the above .. Nice composition of an attractive subject. I do love the feel of watery movement in the detail.
