I’m the first to comment...an honor! Seeing the gnarly old tree with moss makes me think of all the stories that tree could tell. I’m going to try this with my aspens...and I know already it won’t tell the same gnarly story. Thank you for the idea

Excellent contrasted colors. It really brings the texture out of this bark. The moss makes for a wonderful tonal and textural addition. You can feel and smell this. Ah, the forest. :)

excellent detail captured on the coarse bark and the softer moss - I think moss is lovely and it always captures my eye.
I posted a moss photo too a while back: http://scenebysharon.aminus3.com/portfolio/430.html

Old growth trees have a special aura to them Denny. I will be posting a series on the California red giants shortly.... ;-)

Lol! Some people like Nascar...

Yeah, and I'm there every day, man.

Gorgeous textures and tones here ! I really like it Denny... well done. Have a nice day :)

Such a cool shot of the moss wonderful textures and detail

The moss and the thick bark are lovely. I like the textures in the bark.

Nice play with textures and colors... like trees, they are so precious...

Nice texture and colour.

The details are superb, the hollow of the tree seem to form valleys with foam as a forest! Good day.

Great details captured here of the bark and moss..
Moss can be very "photogenic" indeed..
Good shot, Denny

So, we both have been photographing various forms of moss lately :) I really like the subtle texture here. The lighting is utterly beautiful as well.

Like mountains and valleys of hilltop growth!! Amazing close up! The moss so nicely makes this photo look like a little forest on top of many rock mountains.....phew...here goes my imagination again Denny!!

Very nice wood texture

Pleasant mosses, Denny. Another of your fabulous barks... It seems to me as a kind of geographical, aerial photographs, with alternating ridges and valleys. Nice!

NIcely seen

Super shot, looks like an aerial view of some unchartered landscape. Beautiful.

Very beautiful colors and textures! Very interesting and unique shot! beautiful capture!

Nice detailed shot !

Spectacular texture - I love moss! All moss - It's so tender. Great shot!
Didi you fly over and drop something out for me?

Wow, this made me think of some very ancient cliffs I saw in China with shrubs growing on them. But, I love old trees, too. I've always thought how cool it would be if they could tell their story.

This is a great close-up with lots of texture and detail. I like it!

What a capture of textures here in this macro shot!

I love trees too, especially the textures and all the cool variations of colors. This is a beautiful shot!

Denny, I'm glad to have been able to provide some inspiration to someone else besides the kids ! The texture and detail you've captured here is visually interesting.
