Thanks for your comments. Yes this is a very large tree trunk. Here is a view of it from a lower angle:



I left the left edge in as it was the left boundary of the tree, but I can see it does not add interest and will re crop it!
Techo that was a good observation! ...It had been cropped and perspectively corrected to keep more interest in the frame.

The perspective is really neat. There's some kind of optical illusion going on.

The last years were terrible John, it lost all its limbs:-)

Great find Maurice. A funny thing to notice --- the last years must have been hard environmentally just looking at the "rings". John

RK saw it first and I agree. But that is a small point that shouldn't detract from the fact that this is perfect for the topic and a welcome find. Cluttered with contrasting forms and textures, all within one treetrunk. I wish we were in a different topic so I could ask to see the whole tree with scale to appreciate its size and age. Well done. No more doubts about the topic, eh? -tv

This is good. Maybe a wee bit of crop to the left is required...I think.
