Once it’s in your head as snakeskin the association is impossible to shake. I really like it and the dynamism of the image.

Thank you, Richard. Yes, I see/feel/”taste” snakeskin but it’s dried up kale leaves. π

Nice shot. Nice light. Was this taken with fill-flash? I can’t tell. In any case, nicely lit image. First I thought ‘snake,’ and then ‘dissected Nematode’ (roundworm). like it.

We looked and see the resemblance with the dissected Nematode. Cool! The plant featured in the photo is kale plant. π No fill flash. Natural light.

No flash! This result then simply reflects the skill of the photographer .. and her understanding of light. D

So kind, Dave. Thank you.

Kale?? A lovely mysteryπ

π You’re the winner! Kale, it is! Some sad-looking forgotten kale. π

It does look like snake skin, but I knew it was decaying lacinato kale. I like the whole series you’ve posted of close ups of things on the ground in winter – all very creative.
