Norbert work is impressive, but this is impressive too.

For someone who have seen some moss images taken at scales where you are
no longer sure if it's still macrophotographies or should be called
microphotographies, that moss looks realy convincing.
Yes, moss do tend to look other wordly when looked at from /very/
close... The same hold true for molds.

Another that might make an interesting "Elements of Geology" tc-rtc entry.
There are so many elements in dead rock that are absolutely necessary for
life.

That thought had occurred to me, especially as when moss grows on rock it eats
away at the rock therefore adjusting the geology in it's own minor way..
However, I did start working on this image about 5 years ago so way before the
tc-rtc round was announced ;-)
I am working on another image and if it turns out as intended will enter this
into the tc-rtc. Not going so well at the moment though so I will probably end
up submitting this one.

In some sense, I started working on every POV image sometime in the late
90s. A scene refresh is much less a sin that using "absolutely necessary".

Some people are just slow workers. :-P
There is nothing in the rules that say the entry must be a new image. I
suspect that most people reuse code or parts of old scenes.
Although I suspect that my 2011 entry for the Dinosaurs Challenge, even
though it fits this round, will not be used again. ;-)

The action of moss, and lichen mentioned elsewhere in this thread, is not minor
over geologic time. It is a major element of "weathering", which also includes
wind and water action.

Tiny plants contribute to erosion and large plants inhibit it. Would be an
interesting theme if someone could figure out a way to convey it.

Up to a point for the latter. Think of tree roots splitting rocks.

Indeed... not easy...

I know what you mean, I have so many unfinished images I gave up on for
one reason or other (usually just not happy with the outcome).
I would like to find out my first 'successful' images if I can still
locate the source code and give them a work over (probably end up being
a complete rewrite).
