I like the composition Sandy and the rich textures. No suggestions.

Very nice, Sandy. The colors are vibrant and true. Nice and sharp revealing lots of detail. In New England these were called red coats or British soldiers for obvious reasons.

Sandy - That is really a Lichen Fest :eek: - I really like the composition and the few spots of Red which add much interest to the frame. Might have been an ideal subject for trying a few focus stacks.

Beautiful capture. Looks a bit alien and is most intriguing. I like how the red tops warm up this mostly cool image.
