Silent bark in the park

The Golden Gate Park in San Francisco has a lot of diversity. Besides museums and car-free zones there is a lot of greenery. When we walked through the park I found this play of light and shadows of bark on a tree trunk.

 

I processed a balanced and a paintery HDR photo from a RAW exposure, merged them selectively, taking the paintery for the focus area, carefully pulled the curves, made the shadows slightly colder, and the highlights slightly warmer to make the scene pop.
