Challenge: Puzzle Macro IV (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-450D Rebel XSi
Lens: Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS
Location: Cherokee, CA
Date: Feb 20, 2011
Aperture: f5.6

 This is an iron bar that made up part of a long abandoned fence-line. A scrub oak is working very hard to completely envelope the bar.

I took this picture a few minutes after the sun poked over the canyon, then I messed with the saturation and added a vignette. I know it's not advanced, but I'm not advanced either. I like the way this turned out.

Cool shot. No idea where this is. Looks like lichen on an iron bar embedded in stone. Could be at a cemetery.

A tree that has grown around a railing? or some other type of rod. The phrase "What happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable object" springs to mind...
