Wet Moss
Checking the progress of wildflowers while camping this weekend. Stumbled upon some green mosses near a waterfall.

Sorry Anthony, but it doesn't do much, say much to me...

Tim!

I'm with Tim. This has a bit too much of a random feel to me. I'm wondering what would happen if you isolated a much smaller section of moss, that allowed the viewer to better discern some of the details if some sort of more distinct pattern might emerge within the frame.

I have to agree with Kerry and Tim on this one, Anthony. In most cases with moss, closing in on a small portion will bring out more details. With this image, my eyes keep wandering all over the place with nowhere to rest.

I would have to agree that it doesn't do much for me. Having said that I've tried quite a few times to get some nice moss shots and I'm still trying to get something at looks good.

Thanks - I have to also agree with yas :smile: Dont know why I posted this one just happy to see some green somewhere I guess. Its just to static, and yes Philip moss patterns are hard to capture. Think its better suited for wide angle masterpieces
