Rock: Pictogram
Or "Agata's Eye of the Cloud"
Macro Monday: #Rock
Goodness, another theme with way too many possibilities. Or probably I just have collected way too many minerals, rocks, stones... worry stones, that is... over the years. Worry stones. I begin to understand why they are called "worry" stones in English ;-) MM worry for sure ;-) In German these stones, often polished, semi-precious stones of a size that fits nicely into one's hand, are simply called "Handschmeichler". "Hand" is obvious, and "Schmeichler" roughly translates to "charmer" ;-).
This is a very close look at a (mostly - mostly?) rose coloured "eye" agate, taken today. I was surprised to find this pictogram-like cloud shape in close-up. And at the many different colours that appeared by simply applying some general processing steps (Luminar, ON1 Photo RAW). No filters used, no effects, just regular processing... I was running out of time anyway, so no danger of doing too much processing :-) This is another in-camera focus stacked image. The Oly's focus stacking function ROCKs ;-)
A Happy Macro Monday to you, and I wish you a colourful week ahead, dear Flickr friends!
