The image is a close-up of a tree root, which appears to be a type of tree root. The root is twisted and twisted, creating a spiral-like pattern. The wood is weathered and has a rough texture, with visible cracks and crevices. The background is black, making the root stand out even more. The image is taken from a low angle, making it the focal point of the image. The text "Tree root, Pencil Pine Lake, Tasmania 2016" is visible in the bottom right corner.
