Bark details of Betual Utilis / Himalayan Birch originating from the East Himalayas.
Wandering around Wakehurst Place looking at and photographing tree bark on an uninspiring day for "Landscape vistas" is, I find, quite relaxing.
There are so many patterns, textures and colours when you take a close look.
Adjusting the White Balance in Lightroom 2.2 was a bit tricky to perfect but I think this is about as close as I can get to the original.
Is there still a small magenta colour cast on the greys ?

This is great, Jeff, all those textures and colours. The colours look natural to me on my screen.
I love it when they peel like this, and have spent many hours in the past getting up close and intimate with birches, lol.
My sort of photo and yes there is magenta, is that a bad thing? Looks great to me. Wonderful collection of colours and textures.

Thank you everyone for stopping by and commenting.

Jennifer... yes it is, if it was not there originally.
Now I have come back to this and looking at it in natural daylight it is not as noticeable as I thought last night.
Looking at this on another monitor today and doesn't appear to be as obvious. Absolutely love the textures in this and the colours (whether they're meant to be there or not!)
