Hi Floyd, this has a lot going for it...but, kinda small...I would risk a re-do and put up a bigger version for folks while this is still just out of the gate.

Floyd - This one sure looks like a terrific frame with Lichens in many colors and the green vegetation. I wish you had posted a larger photo for us to appreciate the details. As you perhaps know, you can post 720 pixels along the longest side with an option to post a larger size in addition.

Floyd:
Good eye to spot this and the colors in the lichen are very vibrant and interesting. The large version could do with another round or sharpening. Not sure what the aperture here is but using a smaller aperture and tripod may help with the DOF (Gigi likes to use F22 with good effect).

Glad you posted a larger version of this. A wonderful nature scene of interesting lichen and succulents. The combination makes for a nice variety of colors and textures. Nice comp in this. Agree some more sharpening would have been helpful.

Very colorful with of patterns and shapes to hold the viewers interest. I agree that it could be a little sharper overall for more impact.
