The texture is here. The subject and composition lack interest to me.

The movement from light to shade, and the broken nature of that surface is well captured. Photographically, a difficult composition - one's eye searches for patterns in near-abstract images such as this, and there is a sense of two stonger horizontal lines in this surface, but they lead me only to the silhouetted edge of the tree - I think I'd have tried a wider aspect ratio thatn this 4:3, to bring those lines closer to top of frame, then the combined lines of the edge and those two would produce a triangular feel with the brighter area of bark: might (only might) find that the eye moved through that more happily.

Like an elephant foot. Neat find. Light is wee bit too bright here. Good luck in the challenge.

good texture, good tonal range, generally a good picture, not the most interesting of subjects though
