Simplicity - conifer scales

[ionian]

An exercise in technique using one of nature's example of perfection. Thoughts welcome.

Simon, I like the first most, love the texture and control of the tones.

[RandyRFJP]

Very creative! The first one has almost a "polished wood" appearance. Great work.

[ionian]

One more - it's a composite, but this works well as an image in its own right I feel as opposed to a technical exercise.

[Shadowman]

Good looking tones on the first.

Simon, i like the last most; please show that one also in colour

I should have stitched the colour versions together then converted to mono, but I didn't... I may do a colour version later if I have the motivation

All nice images Simon IMO #2 would look nicer if it was cropped from the LHS to make a vertical frame.

I like #2. It has a rustic look that I find appealing. The empty LHS works well to my mind.
