A work in progress! Hi! My name is Melinda. I am happily married to the love of my life and we have a daughter who is in college. I live in Southern California and I am an amateur photographer. My husband bought me my Kodak P880 for Christmas in 2006. I looked at it and thought I'd never figure it out! I've only taken regular every day snapshots and never looked through the lens in a "creative" way. Then in March 2007 someone introduced me to Renderosity.  In May, I became brave and decided to upload my first photo... I haven't been able to put my camera down since! LOL. I still have a lot to learn, but I sure am having fun doing it. I have come a long way though. This time last year, I couldn't even put a photo on the computer! Now I have started to research DSLR cameras ... Who knows what the future brings! Update: I now have that DSLR :) Was the best Christmas (2008) gift!   I did the research and picked it out and Santa put it under the tree. It's a Canon Rebel Xsi .

I have a new DSLR, the Canon 7OD. A gift from my husband for Mother's Day. So much to explore!

I hope you haven't been 'barking' up the wrong tree hehehehe. Great shot of fascinating shapes and textures.

A very good and solid study of texture and pattern. Good eye.

This is an exquisite capture. It has an otherworldly quality to it, which of course would draw my attention. The extreme clarity of it is great, as is the abstract quality that allows a multitude of different interpretations. I love the fact that it looks like an aeral photo of an alien planet.

What kind of tree is that? The texture this close looks like stonework. Like part of the pattern crumbled after years of erosion. Nice picture. Todd

Well, I notice Hawk23 borrowed my oft used line about not barking up the wrong tree. Oh well. Anyway, as an addicted observer of tree bark myself, I must say you have served yourself well as a blossoming photographer with the sharp clarity in this terrific macro of the tortuous light, shadows, nooks, crannies and various hues at play in this particular tree skin.

Well Harry I must agree with all you have said too. Excellent capture here!!!

Very interesting and nice texture in this closeup shot! Please, consider yourself as a true photographer, as all of us are amateurs here, or so I think!:-)
