Abstract tree bark

[Nostromo]

I've no idea where to post these, so have opted for here.
Whilst i was out looking for photos of rocks and stones (for my 52 challenge) i came across this Yew tree (Taxus baccata) with twisted, colourful bark.

I like the first one best. It's the colours that make it an interesting shot for me. I've never thought of Yew as terribly colourful and I'm guessing you pushed the saturation a bit?

Thank you.
This is in a deeply wooded area, with a brook, so is quite a damp atmosphere. That is where the greens are coming from (algae). Yew bark can have a naturally purple tinge to it, especially when wet.
I don't really use the saturation slider, but do use the RGB channels in the tone curve (lightroom) to enrich.
