Old Oak Bark (Súber in Portuguese), nature detail shot in Alentejo, near Guadiana Valley Natural Park, Portugal.

Digital retouch includes overall exposure light reduction in 1 stop and Nik Software filters applied, in an interpretative style, intentionally dramatizing, colorizing and contrasting patterns and textures. No light was adjusted locally.
Processing techniques include Pro Tonal Contrast filter, some color warmth increasing and Vignette Blur in corners.
