Cool, man. I like this better than the last one. The colors and some of the shapes remind me of totem pole carvings, or PNW coastal Indian art. Very interesting tree for sure.

I've liked both of these, Aaron.

I liked the other one too. I just like this one more.

I like it. Almost like an abstract salmon head. :)

Cliff, I've never noticed that before but now that you have I don't know if I'll ever be able to look at this the same way again.....

Beautiful! Extremely well done, both technically and aesthetically. Love the tight, precise framing and all the shapes within.

Oh, boy, have you ever got this beautiful tree dialed in! This is fantastic, Mark. Thank you for the treat. You are inspiring me to go back. Sometime, I'd like to find cork, too. I saw them once on a guided walk, before I did that much photography. I thought they were crazy good then and would sure like to train a lens on them now. Hopefully the weather will oblige soon.

Beautiful, Mark. The orange on tan is striking. Nicely arranged.
