Woodland Textures

Went to Burnham Beeches a couple of weeks ago and I've just got round to looks at the photos. Here are a few showing the diverse textures and patterns that can be found if you look in the right places! I think they were all taken with my 35mm macro on the K10D. C&C as always guys...

Nice set Fiona, number 2 and 4 bing my favourite ones of the set.
The textures came out looking extremely nice and I really like the way it jumps to you the moment you look at it. The OOF areas are superb and just enhances the image concentrating the eye on the focused subject very well.

Love the colours too,

Thanks Amin. I'm particularly pleased with no. 4 as it was taken handheld whilst kneeling on the ground, in low light with no flash, so the shutter speed was a little slow. I was reluctant to use flash as the natural light that day was ideal.

Fiona, the more I look at these images the more I find the number 2 as being absolutely stunning. You know that feeling that you want to look at an image, absorb it from different angles and know that there are more things that you want to let it sink within you because there is a lot more that the image has that meets the eye. The neurons in the brains are just working out and then slowly you start observing and feeling the full impact of the image, compared to sometimes some images that give you that immediate impact and that's it, its all that it conveys. For me certain music also works in this way, and then slowly it sinks in and you end up absolultely loving it. I do this sometimes with images that I take and at first do not feel any impact but if I sense that it might have something more that I cannot immediately notice I leave it on and then come back to it again, and often I end up finding these images are some of my best from the batch.

Your second image is just like that. I like it and very very much. Its one of those images I would love to have it hanging on my wall .

Now please get me that phone number for the man in the white coat.

Numbers 4 and 6 for me. In number 6 I might have focussed on a slightly closer branch, but it's a minor niggle. Really like these two

I like number 2 as well, but it seems a little underexposed.
