Lichens on Rock

Wonderful what we can find in nature. These lichen were growing on rocks on an island in the St Lawrence river. Comments appreciated. Check also in the same folder where I have done some digital enhancements of the same shot.

fantastic! good compo with complementary colors, works well as an abstract. I could well hang this on a wall at my home.

good shot! if it was my own i would probably have darkened it a bit, but it isn't, so that doesn't matter. i am usually drawn to shots that look like they could have been created using software like this one.

Beautiful shot. I love the colors - the greenish yellow against the blue-grey. The patterns formed by the lichen are beautiful and the vertical lines on the tree/rock (?) add an interesting element. I agree with the above poster about maybe going half a stop to a stop down to underexpose a little bit. There detail in the lichen itself is also a little soft - a little sharper would have been great. Nice job.

Thanks for the comments. I am going to the same area this weekend and will try to get out onto the island to see if the colors are different now that it is autumn. I will try to take some more shots with your suggestions in mind.

Good composition and tonality. The color harmony is the slight flaw in this image. Blue-Yellow or Blue-Orange is more typical. I might suggest warming the green yellow tones of the lichen. The lichen I find here in Wyoming is often yellow or yellow orange in color. But if you like it where it is, leave it alone.

This one just grabs me.. I especially like how the lines on the rock make this look like some surreal marsh grass.

A wonderful combination of colours and textures - thanks for a great shot

The "nature vs. abstraction" concept may not be original but I really love this image. Nice work.

Thanks.

Nice color harmony, texture & great cropping.

I like your work
