Lichen

Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted April 28, 20151,276 views4 comments

One of my more imaginative titles I guess! This is a close-up of my favorite macro subject, lichens, and the fact that this one was growing on a red rock made it even better.... I will never get tired of lichens I think, the shapes and colors are just endless!

100 mm, ISO 100, f/18 (effective aperture), 1/8 s.

C&C welcome, large version is included!

This is cool, Roel.  You've got excellent details in the lichen and the rocks plus a fine color combination.

Lichen probably sounds better than "gray matter tissue" which is what this reminds me of, Roel. Like Mark said, excellent detail and a fine color combination. I'll add that is also has a nice symmetical pattern and makes an interesting and artistic abstract.

Roel...the thumbnail decieved me..the large version is wonderful with all the detail there. Guess you composed it right..the color contrast ..and detail works very well here.

Never mind the title, this makes for a compelling abstract image out of a well spotted specimen of lichen - and the unusual rock backdrop is a perfect foil for the plant. devil
