I dug into my picture archives this week for a photo I knew had some great texture. The bison below was photographed in Yellowstone National Park in August of 2008. We have texture in both the fur on the animal and the grasses and trees in the foreground and background.

To show the real texture without the distraction of color, I used a filter called “Mercury” to bleed out all of the color and then enhanced the clarity. Here is the result:

Each photo has its own merits. Which do you prefer?
