I feel that you have recorded a very interesting image. I believe that most persons would walk right by this stump and never stop to see the beauty in it. I like the fact that I see great detail in the image. I even see the directions of the cut that created the stump. I could spend much time just looking at the surface of the stump and finding imagined faces or other object. It is much like finding such objects in cloud formations. I appreciate your B&W conversion.   Posted: 03/07/2025 12:40:39

Hi Cindy,

A very interesting image - the excellent focus shows so many details. Good noticing!   Posted: 03/07/2025 18:02:03

Decaying tree stumps are great subject for abstracts. When I first glanced at your image - I saw a footprint. To my eye - the image feels a little dark; perhaps that's what you saw and/or intended. A tighter crop might offer an alternate image you could consider.   Posted: 03/08/2025 07:27:50

Thank you for all your comments. I also saw the footprint. I haven't done a lot of BW, so I may have made it too dark, as I did add black to the converted image.   Posted: 03/08/2025 08:56:31
