Wow! Love it! The lichens (and the swirls, of course) really set this apart!

That is a fine comp utilizing the lines. Excellent clarity throughout as well. It all makes for an interesting abstract. Really well done!

Isn't nature wonderful? Designs like this make me just sit and admire them. You captured this beautifully.

Bill- great find and capture. Don't know that I would have guessed what it is. Makes a wonderful abstract!

Outstanding! Great patterns and colors.

This is wonderful Bill with all of its color and swirls. Well seen and presented. Chet

Bill, great patterns, textures, and wonderful colors too. Wonderful capture......

Whoa, this is very nice. I enjoy just roaming around the image. Are those hard shadows I see? What was the light like? The tone distribution is well-controlled.

Very cool abstract image Bill! The colors really make this unique. I really like the textures, shapes and colors.

Wow, very cool abstact Bill! I actually thought it was pahoehoe lava for a second when I viewed the thumbnail!

WOW! is all I can say. This might just be the best nature abstract I've ever seen.

Great fine, very cool image. I thought I was looking at an aerial pic.

Very nice Abstract. it appears the reds are blown out in a couple small areas-upper middle and upper right but since no one else has mentioned it I assume it's the cheap uncalibrated work monitor I'm looking at. I love the textures, lines and tones especially the green and gold in the LRC and the knothole on the lower edge. Excellent find and capture.

Wow that works great Bill! Amazing it is wood.

I am slightly distracted by the right bottom green but still awesome as is.

Beautiful! The swirling patterns create a strong base for the spattering of color.

Fantastic!!! Man, if everyone knew where that log is, it may be the most photographed log in the world!

What a great find, love it!

Fantastic abstract Bill! I have never seen something like this before. A unique image, at least for me.

Love it Bill, what a great find, couldn't be any better. Beautiful work.

nice one bill. i'd crop it square, taking the excess off the top to eliminate that shadow and the fuzzy area in the top left. that'd make for a super image!

super

Wonderful detail. Great eye to see and capture this Bill.

This is absolutely fantastic Bill. Great lines and spattering of color.

Amazing abstract! Nothing more to add...

This is way cool, Bill. I love the graceful lines and little splashes of color along with the lack of scale. Great image, I am really enjoying this.

Grief that is amazing talk about natural art. very well done finding it and doing a wonderful job portraying it. A stunning natural abstract, purely personal but I think I would desaturate the hues a little.

Way cool! Love the energy of the swirls and wild colors. This is excellent.

Fantastic abstract. The texture and light and lines are mesmerizing. The color saturation seems to be a little over the top, but I was not there so I am not certain about how intense the colors of the lichens were, but to my eye they seem a bit to punchy. Otherwise fantastic.

What more can be said about this one, Bill. It's simply beautiful.

Amazing find, and your presentation and processing brings out some fascinating textures. I'd prefer the ULC a little brighter to blend in more with the tones of the rest of the image. ULC looks a tad soft compared to the rest on the large view.

Pretty amazing.. Win!

I'll add my "Like" to the list, Bill. This is wonderful. Well seen and processed.

Holy smokes. Thanks for all the wonderful comments I never would have guessed. I've learned a ton being here from all of you. Kane if you're ever here I'll show you the log. I actually took saturation out as these colors were bright in the original. Thanks a lot.

Just found this one, Bill. I love it! The swirls are great and the scattering of colors add so much.

Very cool! I'm always on the lookout for unique close ups like this one, great find.
