Coastal Lichen

Gallery: LandscapePosted August 14, 2011695 views12 comments

To give a sense of scale this area is aprox 12" across. Taken on a bright but overcast afternoon. I'd love to hear your feedback on this.

All comments are welcome, good and bad. Thanks for looking.

Cheers, Gary.

Ive seen a lot of lichen abstracts, but when they're done well they still look fresh, and this one looks pretty good! The orange-white combo is striking, and there's some nice balance/spacing to the patches.

The color contrast and spacing make this one work well, I like it!

I like it. It could also be earth viewed from space in some funky infrared or whatever part of the spectrum...

Lots of details keep the eye busy and add interest. Nice.

The lichen seem to be floating here, and not so much attached to the rock. I like the effect and the overall light you brought to the image.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. I love abstracts like this. My only nit is that I would like to see a larger version.

This is a neat abstract, Gary. I especially like the contrasting colors and the wonderful texture.

Very nice intimate. i always feel like these work well as square crops, I would go with the right side.
