Yellow Lichen | Columbia River Gorge, Oregon

Florescent yellow lichen grows on rocks all over the Columbia Gorge, especially near waterfalls. Difficult to shoot in sunlight without blowing out. The fungus is much brighter than this image but I had to darken it so it wouldn't turn into a featureless blob.
