This image was made on a very windy day in October 2006. I never quite liked my original work-up, so I started over from the original scan.

Your thoughts are always appreciated. :smile:

You've been hiding this one on us Preston! This is excellent! Obviously rock, but with a little imagination one could see the folds of a prehistoric rhino or something. I really like the small, but very important inclusion of the little plants in the cracks. tells a good story.

Glad you found this and reworked it. I like this a lot.

Ditto on Lon's comment. This is outstanding!! Great rock patterns and nice tones.

The weathering of the granite has created some nice patterns here. I particularly like the smaller joints in the upper section of the rock. Great natural color, too. Very nice image.

Preston, I remember this one from a post way back when. The color on the rocks is very accurate compared to your previous post, at least on my old CRT. Love all the tucks and folds and cracks and patterns, well done :toast:
