The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
I found this small piece of cedar on a beach having floated in on the tide. I’m not sure what caused the intricate sculpturing, but it runs throughout the whole piece. The photos are of top and bottom.
I submitted these images to see if anyone has seen something like this.
R5; 1/50th; f16; iso 2500.
Jim, that is a cool find. I have no idea what caused the sculpturing either. Maybe the movement of the tides and it floated from who knows where. A fun find. Sorry I couldn’t help you, I have never seen anything like it.
I have no idea how that geometry formed, Jim, but it’s incredibly cool. Maybe some kind of strange little critter gnawing away, but how it would end up with such amazing regularity is beyond me.
Jim, this is very unique. At first glance on the first photo I thought it was a small Armadillo curled up in a protection mode. Or, maybe even some kind of flying insect hive of sorts. I can truly say I’ve never seen anything like it and I suspect it would have me taking a hard look see if I did.
Jim, this is an excellent find and your first photo shows it off wonderfully, looks like the model for a large cruise ship… Yes, the how it got made would be great to know. I assume you have this at home on display. 
, it is awesome.
@Shirley_Freeman @Dennis_Plank @Paul_Breitkreuz @Mark_Seaver I’ve had it for a couple years. It possibly washed down the Columbia River to the mouth where it floated north and was deposited on the beach at Long Beach; at least I like to believe that.
