Well, I was attracted to the image "precisely because" it didn't look natural even though you were supposed to have shot it in the totally natural environment.   :)

I can most certainly assure you the barnacles were for real and causing the same kind of cuts and pain as expected :D A situation for which knee pads become equally important as the tripod ...

Backlit foliage is nice for showing venation patterns. And of course any irregularities will stand out.

This could be posted here, in the "Unsharp",  or in the 'Minimalistic' threads. Fits equally poor in all places :D

Panasonic GH-2 with Nikkor-SC 55 mm f/1.2.



The keen observer no doubt will identify the forest as being beech, in spring.

Jacques - another excellent image. Gives me a head ache just looking at those "balls" - my eyes want to turn around in their sockets
very well captured

Lars,
very nice shot. Gives the impression of water reflections from a stream with a little fall, slow before, a bit disturbed after.

Thanks Thomas - yes it does resemble a water stream. Glad you found it interesting.

As for your own shot - I like the contrast of the organic pattern of the plants against the fence. The contrast makes the fence seem more "rigid".

This one is a variation of a shot posted today on the "Daliy updates 365 days.." thread. I felt it was more relevant to post here.

Ice melting and creating wet areas on the ice in a pattern I assume was originally made by wind and snow.

Ice surface patterns made by wind on a Norwegian lake. Sunset reflections.

A cooperative work of the plant and the gravity...
