With the Grain

After shooting ice, snow and water for what seems like the past month, just thought I'd try my hand at this tree. Debated on keeping the OOF BG left side of the tree in the final, but cropped it out to include only the grain of the trunk. Thanks for looking C&C welcomed, larger posted.

Nice wall-to-wall sharpness Bill. Great colors and textures too.
Have a great New Year! :toast:

A lot of dimension in the larger version. I like the green peppered in the bark.

Great execution, you can see the tiniest details in the bark and moss.

Thanks all, I was very pleased with all of the definition that came out of this little shot. Kind of has a feel to it, like it was a shot from an airplane of running valleys and mountains below--but maybe that's just my imagination!
