not sure what to say nice tree down boy! Maybe you should have been looking at a vagina instead of a tree since that is what it looks like.

Formal composition does not help this subject IMHO

You shuldn't position the hole in the center, offset it to one side, or the other side.

textural, sensual, sensational!

Centering the hole makes this look.....orificial? Offsetting the hole and balancing it with more bark would have improved it IMHO.

Nice idea! Interesting composition and texture. Well done.
Post actions
I think this is probably the best "bark" shot in this challenge. Good job!

one of the nicer "tree bark" shots. To make it a bit better: composition might be better moving the hole out of the center of the frame.
Post actions
I would have moved the hole to one of the rule of thirds spots. Other than that, I like this.

tree shots are simple and obvious, but this is exposed very well and like it quite a bit.

I like to see creatures in wood, and (for me) there's a fine owl in this image. Enough of that, you have a good image here that captures the category well. Maybe it's a bit light, maybe not... Anyhow, good seeing!

My favorite of the tree/bark shots so far. The colors are nice and the photo is sharp and clear with good contrast and detail.
Post actions
Interesting tree and texture! Good Luck!
Post actions
Good. Think I would have pushed the contrast a little to cope with the brightness of the direct light, just to bring out the light/shade a toucch more, but this is pretty well controlled as it is. Doesn't quite do it for me though - with such a centred composition I think you need more to lead the eye in and out of the image - not necessarily directly, but concentric rings like this I think we need to see more of, to give greater context, to balance the hole/crater area more carefully. If that makes sense.

Nice shot and good use of natural light.
Post actions
You captured a nice range of textures from bark to weathered wood to the smoother wood as you look down into the hole.

A shadow covers the most interesting part of your subject. A fill flash in an angle against tha light source can help you so much in this cases.
