This is the second shot from my Deadwoods series, which looks at decay from a natural perspective, rather than the man-made regression that is my Everything Must Go collection of images.

This shot was taken in Cramlington park, and is part of a succession of similarly-styled images that will be uploaded in the near future. They were created for a college project looking at narrow focus and the actions of nature through the seasons (and years).

There are more examples to come in the near future.

Thank-you for that, and for the favourite-list addition: I appreciate it.

nice work - the limited DOF keeps us right at that little lichen while we still notice all the textures - well done

If I were to just comment with: "Silent noise." would it make any sense? 'cause that's what this is like for me.

Yeah, I enjoyed messing around with the narrow focus. Thank-you for taking the time to comment, it's appreciated.

It does make some sense, although I'm sure it makes more to you than it does to anyone else. Hah.

Yeah, that lens is a lot of fun to work with; I like messing around with narrow focus and bokeh. Thank-you for the comment. :]
