Nature's Rust

Okay, I know that oxidation of iron is a natural process, but this is a little different.

I took some pictures of lichen and rocks, and gave them the treatment I think you Rust Junkies like to use: turn the saturation up to 11, and give it all the sharpening you've got. Who knew all those colors were in there?

What do you think?

The goal of my photography is is the effective, original communication of a feeling expressing truth, beauty, or love.

    Hi Brian, Particularly like #2. You are right, once you push the saturation it is amazing what colours 'appear'.

    Cheers, Richard.

    Nice approach, Brian. I'd crop out the trees in #1....just feature the " rust ". I'd like to see a real close-up of just the red and yellow parts of #3. Overall, I like what you've done.thumb.gif
