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 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.

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.
