Birch Bark

This high-key image is from a birch tree (I think) that had fallen across a small, snow-covered creek bed. Two strips of bark were peeling away from the trunk and curling. This is one of those strips. I took several shots and will probably be posting others in the coming days.

Other than a slight increase in contrast, which removed the slight shadows on the snowey background, and a tad of sharpening, I didn't do any post-production work.

Thanks for looking. Critiques are appreciated and heeded.
