Karst Abstract

Gallery: LandscapePosted January 18, 2015206 views11 comments

My local area has an abundance of karst topography. The rocks are primarily limestone with some outcroppings of marble. Many of the rocks have been smoothed by water over the millennia, so I was surprised to find this more layered outcropping.

Very nice abstract, Preston. I really like the colors, shapes and textures. A lot of good detail to enjoy. Well done.

Geology is an amazing thing. I enjoyed your take on this exposed sample. I like the bits of gold scattered through out.

This is a fine look at the erosion details here, Preston. I really like the "diving triangle" comp. As a minor nit, I'd like to see the top of that outcrop at the center.

Love the shapes of these rocks, and those patches of lichens are a great detail.

Wow, This looks fantastic! The larger version makes you feel like you can reach right out and touch this rock. The colors, textures and details are wonderful. I like everything about this one!

Incredible technical achievement. Looks like a medium format image. Beautifully seen.

No nits. The orange area near the right edge does draw your eye to it a bit.

This is so nice. So much to explore and appreciate. I would have not guessed this was limestone - such a different look from Florida limestone. Gorgeous image Preston.

Preston, surely a scene crying out for your 4x5 and a sheet of Ilford Delta 100? Well, so it might seem to me!
