I showed my mom's friend a drawing of a tree I once made.. The flow of the bark in my drawing very much resembled the bark in this photograph - More interesting is how this woman commented on the drawing - "wow, this is great... you realize that this drawing you made is overwhelmingly vaginal" then she proceeded to point out the various "vagina-like" crevasses that made up the trunk of my tree. Needless to say, she was tickled. It might be worth mentioning that the woman was a very eccentric and feministic lesbian. Anyway, the point is: I'm afraid to say it, but your photograph reminds me of vaginas now. Be that as it may, I award you an 8 for having to swallow this drivel :) Keep it up.

I like the composition, color and lighting. Even though the leaf looks natural, it still seems out of place somehow. I don't know how to explain that. Even though I like contrasting colors, it almost jars the eyes.

That leaf is what is missing on the other shots like this. Good job.

NIce composition and clear focus with strong presentation of texture. One of the better "wood" shots, but doesn't really hold my interest. I like the addition of the leaf.

Lovely texture and beautifully seen. The needed contrast is provided with the green leaf, and the pattern of the roots keep the viewer in the picture. I might go for just a bit more color. Nevertheless, the pattern is strong. Good work.

Wonderful eye to spot this. I think this is beautiful. Could use a bit more saturation and contrast. Hope you do well in the challenge.

Great exposure. You have captured the details without blowing anything out or getting a grainy look to it. the leaf really adds interest.

I was wondering if I have to look at the tree or leaf for your texture? Anyhow, this nice and interesting.

Very nice composition and contrasting colors between the roots and leaf. Conveys texture pretty well for me, should finish very well in my book. Great job!
