Makes a change from these birds on a stick shots Gary.
And I like it too.
But I bet Patch would have no chance getting this stick in his mouth !!

Excelent! It even makes a good abstract! Love the textures and the delicate and fragile bit of green on the wood. IB

Very much to my taste, Gary! Ultra-close-up giving extremely shallow dof suits me right down to the ground - which is probably where the other end of the stick goes!

I agree with Bill's comment here about the limited depth of focus allowing one's eye to settle on the sharpest areas where the interest lies.
Well spotted opportunity, Gary, and executed with panache.
You may assume form this that I "quite like it".SmileSmile

certainly like this one
Would also like to see it without the two greyish lines
The trunk / stick would stand out a bit better even tho' you are focused on that lovely moss
