Abstract Macro Photography of Nature

I am really enjoying this web site on digital photography tips and generating ideas, specifically about macro photography. I have been experimenting with abstract macro photography and wanted to try some abstract photos of nature.

I found a large mushroom in my front yard and tried to create a few still life photos with the mushroom on a wooden cutting board.

I cut the mushroom in half and found some cool patterns in the stem. I converted into black and white in Photoshop, sharpened it a little, then added a black border around the photo.

Please comment on my photo. Thank you.
