I can almost feel the texture of these lichen. Interesting patterns and shapes - in my favourites.

Great find for the challenge. The image is a bit soft and noisy but it's still high in my TT.

nice choice of subject for this theme... seems a bit soft or grainy.. in my favorites.

i had a couple helpers in last night going through the entries. we all were drawn to this for one reason or another. one thought was to go monochrome which it almost is. and all agreed it would print well for an accent photo around the home.
in favorites. good luck.
