Now this is good photography. Great rhythm, detail, feel and balance. Found photography, rather than set-up? I kind of hope so, out fo some (probably misguided) sense of what constitutes 'proper' photography. Don't misunderstand this, but I'm not sure the real detail of texture comes through - it's more on a grand scale of the shaping of those roots and that leaf than the contrast between the two surfaces. Still very good stuff though.
I really appreciated the fact that you placed an additional point of interest in your picture. Sometimes a never ending sea of repeating texture/patterns can become rather monotonous for the eye. Keep this idea in mind for cetertain future shots. Keep it up!
I'm admittedly a sucker for this type of photograph, but I really love this picture. The lighting is beautiful, soft but with a healthy amount of contrast, and the title is perfect as there is definitely a feel of flowing. One of my favourites.
I showed my mom's friend a drawing of a tree I once made.. The flow of the bark in my drawing very much resembled the bark in this photograph - More interesting is how this woman commented on the drawing - "wow, this is great... you realize that this drawing you made is overwhelmingly vaginal" then she proceeded to point out the various "vagina-like" crevasses that made up the trunk of my tree. Needless to say, she was tickled. It might be worth mentioning that the woman was a very eccentric and feministic lesbian. Anyway, the point is: I'm afraid to say it, but your photograph reminds me of vaginas now. Be that as it may, I award you an 8 for having to swallow this drivel :) Keep it up.
I like the composition, color and lighting. Even though the leaf looks natural, it still seems out of place somehow. I don't know how to explain that. Even though I like contrasting colors, it almost jars the eyes.
NIce composition and clear focus with strong presentation of texture. One of the better "wood" shots, but doesn't really hold my interest. I like the addition of the leaf.
Lovely texture and beautifully seen. The needed contrast is provided with the green leaf, and the pattern of the roots keep the viewer in the picture. I might go for just a bit more color. Nevertheless, the pattern is strong. Good work.
Very nice composition and contrasting colors between the roots and leaf. Conveys texture pretty well for me, should finish very well in my book. Great job!
