The burnt edges of some paper? Excellent lines, and tones!! #6329137Candice C. Calhoun August 18, 2008

Thanks everyone!!! & for playing along!!!Dianna Hauf August 18, 2008
I DO SO love your 'sense of adventure' Patrick!! Would have guessed along the same lines as David and Candice but since you said NO fire or burning involved" I have to guess a type of fungus growth! ANyway, you always amaze and surprise me and your capture of whatever this is, is as always, remarkable with great clarity, color and wonderful lighting! NOW I have to find out what this could BE! Hope all is well in your neck of the woods!!! (Terribly busy here my friend!) #6329415Carol A. Roux August 18, 2008
I qam going to say an African bee honeycomb, probably a dry on. #6329521Patrick Rouzes August 18, 2008

Fantastic image, textures and tones, Patrick!! #6329717Christie R. Bielss August 18, 2008
Another very cool image, Patrick! And you KNOW I love your game! It's addicting - so this addict's first guess is that it's peeling paint. Looks like wood siding from a house I used to own before we scraped and repainted! LOL! #6329722Patrick Rouzes August 18, 2008
Thank you,Carol!!! Thank you,Christie!!! Sorry, Christie- incorrect!!! Thanks for playing & glad you like those!!! #6329809Patricia Ronan August 18, 2008
Terrific shot Patrick, but I don't know what it is, is it something edible? #6329834Patrick Rouzes August 18, 2008
Thank you,Patricia!!!Inge S. Lasmana August 18, 2008
No paper... no fire or burning involved, then... I would say, is it a mushroom?? yeahhhh... I'm right!!! #6329847Patrick Rouzes August 18, 2008
You must have JUST missed my last comment by few seconds,Inge!!! Sorry-you are incorrect!!!Carol A. Roux August 18, 2008
I'm going to try again, it can be either shaved toasted coconut or shaved almonds. #6330160Eivor Kuchta August 18, 2008
Okay, I'm going with the edible stuff for this one. I don't really know, but I'm guessing some kind of frosting (on a cake?) here. #6330166Patrick Rouzes August 18, 2008
Thanks Carol & Eivor!!! It is not edible- sorry!!! Could not get on the site for past hour!!! #6330179Carol A. Roux August 18, 2008
wood shavings from using a plane. #6330190Patrick Rouzes August 18, 2008
Soryy again,Carol!!! Cool guesses though!!! #6330202Eugenio Diaz August 18, 2008
Amazing texture and great tones...love the clarity...amazing image, I don't have a clue what possible this can be...but my guess is ...animal skin or rubber! #6330372Patrick Rouzes August 18, 2008
Thanks for the kind comments, Eugenio!!!Tammy Espino August 18, 2008

Patrick,my friend.I think you have beat on this one.I'm going to say,molded foam.That's my best shot at it.Excellent capture!!!! #6330772Heidi Knight August 19, 2008
