James, the textures of all of these trees stand out very well. While I find the colors interesting and adding some drama, they’re clearly not real.

Mark, thanks for the comment-always appreciated and I was not surprised by your critique. The color is a bit enhanced with vibrance , but the actual color of the bark , with the over cast lighting ,is real. The sun was in and out and when out the bark records as brown but when in appeared with the colors you see. When I look closely at the mark you could see these iridescent colors through out the bark.

The brown bark color was very boring so I went with this" interpretation "as the final image.

Thank again!
