The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
Inclusion in Sandstone, Point Lobos SNR.
I am always on the lookout for interesting close up images. I have not been able to make out the composition of this inclusion. I am assuming that the colors came from the inclusion itself and not later deposits as there were no other similar deposits on the surrounding rocks. There are also specks of red imbedded in the sandstone formation.

A really neat find here, Paul. Hard to imagine how this brilliantly colored configuration came to be. Regardless, it definitely deserved the up close portraiture here…
Wow, this looks like a painted face mask. Red rocks usually mean oxidized iron (e.g. rust). The geology behind getting such a thin layer could be interesting.
When I first saw it it seemed like an easter egg. It looks such a perfect shape. I love the colors and the aesthetics of the composition with the space between the rock and the surrounding sand. It provides a sense of depth and gives the rock prominence. I also like how the sand seems to almost glow or sparkle around. I also like the little bright rock at the bottom right and I think if it was a little larger and maybe if you had another one on the other side it would have added interest to the picture. Really nice find.
