I like it. As it is, it's identifiable; you might try a tighter crop on the centre, to turn it into an abstract.

Thanks Jeremy,
I did try different crops but none seemed to keep the focus that this layout did.

Cheers

I like it just the way it is.

To me, driftwood always looks like such an inviting subject, but it is extremely difficult (IMHO) to make it work.

This one really does it for me.

Very interesting tones and textures. To me, the upper part is less interesting than the rest, just above the upper "branches", the out of focus bit is distracting and uninteresting.

I like it.  Nice job.

One of the ways I "judge" whether I like a photograph or not is how long do I like looking at it.

Your shot is a pleasing composition that makes me want to just look at it and follow the textures.

I like it a lot.  Nice capture.  I'm not sure there is much that could be done to improve it.  It has a very nice mesmerizing quality.

Gorgeous, as is with rich tones and endless detail.

What are your thoughts on a 1:1 aspect ratio with is photograph?

Great capture, vivid and compelling.  I agree that a tighter crop could enhance this.   Ed
