Lovely Frank.
Excuse my ignorance but have some of these been carved or worked on?

This is part of the Botanical Garden Series in another thread
3 bark pictures are palm trees. As far as I understand palms
grow by leaves turning to wood and falling off. In this case the
gardeners seem to have helped by cutting or sawing some parts off.

I like the first one. Just shame you didn't focus on the horseshoe shaped area.

I think you'd have obtained more sharpness stopping down @f/4-f/5.6 on pic #2 and #3, as the background doesn't matter.

But that could be my monitor. ;)

I will post 100% crops as soon as I am home. Wide open gives a certain dreaminess to the shots

I chose dreaminess over definition.

Frank, I totally respect your choice, as, most of us including me, have this tendency to produce sharp images. ;)

There must at least be one part of razor sharp defintion in my pictures and there is. Wait for the crops.
