Well, not really. Actually it's slickrock and tiny moss on the bottom of Falling Water Creek in the Richland Creek Wilderness Area.

Your image is too big, I can't evaluate it.

Nice abstract, somewhat more color would improve this image. The white dust bothers me. Although it is precisely 50 k the jpeg compression is very obvious, a smaller size and higher quality jpeg would probably work better....

Thanks, Frank, for bringing that to my attention. Bob's original guidelines called for a vertical height of no more than 450 pixels, and I've submitted images for over a year, and as recently as a few months ago, that conformed to that requirement. I had no reason to think that the guidlines had changed.

Sorry about the compression artifacts, Jan. On my monitor at what I figured was normal viewing distance (about 18 inches on out) I could detect very little difference between the highly compressed and the uncompressed image. I hope the smaller image size helps.

By the way, the light specks are very light green areas on the moss, not dust.

Randy, I like this shot. I like the way the sunlight just splashes on the rock bringing sutble color to image. I too see "dust" on the rock not just on the moss though. Might be my screen tho. Thanks for showing it.
