Taken at Bandelier National Monument in May. At the time I just really loved the various colors.

Sharron, the colors are indeed eye-catching, as is the texture of the lichen. I'm thinking that side-lighting would add some feel for depth and accentuate the texture.

Thanks for posting!

Yes, Sharron, there are quite a variety of colored lichen in this and they're set against a nice warm stone background. This looks like it was taken under overcast lighting, which really lets the colors shine. It would be an interesting comparison to see how this (or something like it) would look with side lighting as Jim suggests. Nicely seen.
