An abstract photo from the bark of the tallest Eastern Cottonwood tree in North Carolina — mentioned in my previous post. Not much else to tell about it. However, there may be a couple more abstracts to follow.

I love detail shots like this, Earl. I have a portfolio of tree bark shots and they never look abstract to me. They are as natural as trees themselves.
I have a number of “bark photos” but I don’t often post one. I guess I feel the interest in them might be limited. Good to know someone else enjoys them as well. Thanks!
I love this style of series—the big picture followed by details. It reminds me how effective the technique is in basic cinematography: the establishing shot, or wide shot, followed by moving into the closer shots and, ultimately, extreme closeups. Of course, as a devoted tree lover, I think tree bark is a wonderful thing to examine up close, and your photo provides so much detail I keep wanting to run my hand over it.
Anita, it worked out that way more by happenstance then plan. Oh, I did run my hand over the real thing – great tactile input. :-)
The rough hewn look of the bark on this tree makes an excellent subject for your abstract. Very well done.
It looks weathered and worn. I want to touch it!
What a marvellous image – I love the texture, the details and beautiful warm tones. It almost looks like a rocky landscape viewed from far above.
@Don, @Monte, @Martina….thanks!
