Bob,
First, I admire your ability to find this image.
Second, the technicals look great.
Third, I love it!. Great texture toning, play of light/tones, strong diagonals. October is almost upon us and I see eyes, ghosts, strange faces and masks. Much to discover and open to many interpretations.
Great image.
Oh, and square crop doesn't hurt, in my book.

Thanks Scott,

Captured the same bush, Confederate Rose, last year, later in the season, color I think. This just happened - new growth versus mature growth provided a nice contrast, although they are both green. My purpose was to tinker with adapted lens and hone MF skills along the way. New workflow I'm studying - not my own, just trying to follow instructions and go from that point.

Sounds like we can look forward to another of your macabre Halloween series in the works?

regards,


Bob

I agree with Scott about the play of tones and that is the first thing that attracted me to the image. I love the detail in the leaves.

Love this shot!

Minor nit would be to recover some of the detail in that lower right leaf.

Great spot, Bob.

Def an improvement. Might also consider cloning out the part in the very lower right corner.

Ya, I agree. this is great. Love the differing values of each leaf as well as the eaten portion on the left. Well done. I would change nothing

Much prefer the last one with the toned-down brightness of the lower right leaf.
Like the others have said - excellent work!! One of your best!

Quite like this one! Nicely seen. Definite leaf-fu.

Thanks everyone, appreciate your comments.

I keep vacillating between the two - may have a run at a mid-range image. Ultimately decision rests with printed presentation - that is another story.
