Mark. These are truly impressive. You lighting adds quite a bit of depth to them. Fabulous!

What’s really interesting to me is the 3D feeling of the images. I like the dendrite inclusions as well, they almost look like footprints in snow/sand. I also see where these images may be seen as rather sensual.

Earl, the entire piece is about 2 inches by 3 inches – and these images were shot at nearly 1:1 magnification of the lens – so appx. 0.5-1.0 inch on the short side.

Mark, very interesting–it resembles some type of fleshy fungi. If you would not have told, I would never have guessed rock. For a sense of perspective, how large was the rock you used in this photo?
