Lichen Mask

Gallery: Weekly ChallengePosted May 29, 201817,420 views5 comments

Found this interesting boulder in my Montana yard as I was searching for interesting lichen covered rocks. The two holes got me thinking of a face mask even as the lichen are masking (and dissolving) the stone. (5D3, 180mm macro L, 1/40s, f/18, iso 200, tripod)

All the rich detail and colors of the large image are truly enjoyable to explore. A nice focus on a small part of the world.

Beautiful colors, textures, and detail. There so many comp possibilities here. I would have tried a wider format with this subject, square or 4x5.

The fractal patterns of lichens are always amazing and you certainly captured the details of it in this shot, Mark! The variety of colors and textures is amazing, particularly in the large version.
