Texture's last stand
This is the last of the late December shots from my themes-in-hand trip to Arizona. We were in the McDowell Mountains, chasing Phainopoplas, so I had my camera set on "sports" mode to hopefully catch flying birds in the gray light. I zoomed way in on an arm of a dying saguaro, enjoying its texture. Used a bit of levels, and the clarity slider in the RAW editor, to bring out more detail. I usually think of saguaros as green, but this one, on its last legs, I think, had faded to gray.

ReplyDeleteI am afraid my skin is turning just like that, it's isn't green anymore either. Great texture (He said Hopefully) Love it.
ReplyDeleteThose birds are hard to photograph! I try every year when out west, and still haven't gotten one I am proud of...but, great find for this theme. Nice processing.
ReplyDeleteFabulous texture! I think they can have dead looking bits for a long time- amazing plants and a fine shot.
ReplyDeleteGreat detail in this macro.
ReplyDeleteLove the texture in this. So very clear and sharp.
ReplyDeleteTextures are an endlessly inspiring theme - when at a loss for an image you can always zoom in for some great shots of texture like this one here.
