| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
Galls or plant galls are abnormal outgrowths[1] of plant tissues and can be caused by various parasites, from fungi and bacteria, to insects and mites. Galls are often highly organised structures and because of this the cause of the gall can often be determined without the actual agent being identified. This applies particularly to some insect and mite galls...
So, if I understood correctly, these are "oak galls".
Photographed on a mountain in my village. No pp'ing - original colors.
Thank you for viewing. |

Hi Lurdes,
Intriguing looking plant, you've done a good job to focus in on it with the shallow DoF of f/2.7. Nice subdued lighting too. Usually I'm not a fan of centrally composed images but it seems to work well in this situation. Well done.
TFS,
Scott.
