Curls

Gallery: LandscapePosted May 2, 2011106 views3 comments

I've always been fascinated by the bark curling and peeling on large birch trees. This was taken a couple of days ago near a trail in a northern Adirondack forest (finally the snow is mostly gone); I thought it made for a nice abstract. Minor adjustments and a layered luminosity mask. Larger version provided.

Thanks for looking, comments appreciated.

This is really nice Ron. Excellent composition, and the shapes of the curling bark is very attractive. Great texture and color too.

I can't understand why this only had one comment. I think it's a great detail shot, with great color and light. My only thought would be to shave a very tiny bit off the top to get rid of that whitish bark in the very upper right corner.
