Rocks and Lichen

I went hiking in the Hayman burn area and came across a rock outcropping that survived the fire. I found this pattern and texture intresting.

Know any rocks that perished in the fire? :biggrin: :wink:
There's definitely some nice texture here, although i would argue that it is the colors and pattern that defines this shot, not the texture. I particulalry like the trio of color on the lhs--may not have been possible but it would have been cool to see the comp dominated by that trio.

I understand Stans point but there are large and small textures and they are enjoyable.

Thanks for all the feedback. Stan, I do have a comp that's dominated by the trio of colors but I need to do a little processing with it.
