To photograph is to hold one's breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It's at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy. -Henri Cartier-Bresson

Wonderful textures and color Lon. The dark vertical lines add some nice contrast.

The large version is just terrific. A color explosion the small version lacks.

Great colors and patterns. Reminds me of lizard skin.

Lon,
Another beautiful image of charred wood. Who would think there was that much color in it. I'm not that familiar with Baobabs and I'm not sure I see it, but the patterns are interesting. The small spots of "failed focus" don't bother me.

I think this is excellent. The detail is amazing. Is this one we used the gold reflector on? I don't remember. The color scheme is wonderful. I think most people see char as black, but the carbon platelets are highly reflective, as is evident here. The slight OOF areas don not bother me. You did a great job on this, Lon!

The colors (especially the blues) in this tight view are great, Lon. Overall, there's a fine metallic glow that adds wonderfully to the abstract qualities. This is a beauty.

Oh, I'm loving this one Lon. The mirror quality to that rich color, in a fascinating abstract, is superb.
