This tree was not only uniquely warped, but someone had clearly slashed it with a knife in its distant past, leaving it with this strange and distinctive pattern of scars.

I changed the contrast and saturation on this photo -- I'm really new here and it says that's okay in the Basic Editing rules. Please someone correct me if I did something wrong.

Also I'm a rubbish photographer and should have used a different depth of focus, but I guess you live and learn. :)

A little increased exposure might work to bring in some more detail. contrast and colors look good though. The brown portions in the top left and bottom right keep me in the photo but maybe having something else... someplace to rest the eye and not just texture.

This seems too abstract for my taste.

The image suffers from a lack of clear imagery. As an abstract, it should be softer in focus and slightly distorted - as a image of texture, it does meet the challenge, but the lack of detail hurts it's impact. It's a "'tweener" image and could very well be a winner in a different challenge.
