I think there's too many entries in this challenge. I thought I already commented and voted on this one. There's either another one similar or I just looked at it and thought I made the comment. Anyway. Nicely done. Maybe some more light or fill bounce on the left side would help to bring in the texture there too. I like the contrast of the smooth new wood revealed and the play of light and shadow there. A little more dof would bring focus to the bottom portion which is sort of blurry.

I think it would have worked better if something .. anything.. was in focus?

sorry but the blurry effect does not appeal to me in this application

The picture doesn't really do anything for me in terms of blurriness.

Interesting that you chose to leave it all out of focus.Odd choice for sure.

Not quite up to the quality of the rest of the entries into this challenge, a little more thought and composition would have helped. While the author's intent is clear (no pun intended), the overly vague image is a significant negative.

is this one of those lensless photos? (ive forgotten the correct term, but there's a side challenge going on right now with those photos) love the abstract feel, the grain feels appropriate somehow

Comment by smudgeSMJ:
Nothing is in focus and it's a bit grainy. I suggest to lower your ISO and keep one point in focus so there's something of a subject to focus on.

the bark has very nice texture. technically it's a nice job, but artistically it's lacking a little bit
