Amazing Nature Contest: Tematic Challenge -#3/2/21

(Google translate from Czech)

I'll probably be a detailist, but sometimes I'm interested in what things look like up close :-)

Greetings to all fans of Amazing Nature Community

Surely you know that I am preparing a new Thematic Challenge for you. Yes, we will look at things very closely. The topic for this challenge is

Surface structure

Are you interested in a special surface or leaf veining? Or did you admire the magnification of snowflakes? And what about the bark or annual rings of a tree? Or do you prefer to examine the wings of insects?
Nature provides us with an infinite number of interesting details. What often cannot be seen with the naked eye, detailed (macro) photographs reveal to us.

Your task in this call will be:

• take a photograph of the surface of a natural product as close as possible
• describe what you took and what attracted you to the photographed surface

Here are a few photos for your inspiration.

Snow.

Such a white cold something :-). Unfortunately, I couldn't take a picture of the snowflake itself. It's just a photo of a pile of snow on a metal pipe. However, if you zoom in a little, the individual ice crystals are visible.

Resin

At first glance, a smooth surface. However, with great detail, it is clear how this piece was formed. It is possible to see the individual layers lay on top of each other as the pine tried to heal the lightning wound.

I wish you a firm hand and many nice experiences in fulfilling this challenge.
