Title-Through the ages
A straight forward shot today but sometime simplicity works best. As you can probably tell this is a close-up of a sawn through piece of tree trunk, but what caught my eye the most was the definition the light was having on the rings and ripples due to months of weathering. I thought that this would be a perfect candidate for black and white as even though the trunk was monotone in nature to begin with, converting it to tones of grey simplified it even further.
It almost looks like it could be a study of the skin of an elephant or rhino too.
Thanks for stopping by and please take a look at my latest ‘Scenic Outlook’ post over at Current Photographer, this week aimed at the beginner Landscape photographer.

Interesting texture picture – thanks
Really nice play of light throughout the frame. Nice work.
I do like how the light plays across the surface and helps to create a lot of definition. The B/W conversion really gives it a more defined contrast too. Nicely done!
Great tree pretending to be a pachyderm texture!
