Bob,

I really like this one.
Reminds me of print by Barry Thornton which I liked.
The toning works very well too, the only thing I would considered is pulling the highlights back a bit That one leaf is a tad too bright.

Nicely done.

Very nice, Bob.
I like the almost metallic look. Very pleasing comp and processing.

Hi Bob, for me the contrast in the first image works far better than the second image, as Chris said, it has an almost metallic look to it, which has been lost in the second image. Taking out the white spots works though

Cheers Ray

Ray,

Upon completing the altered version my first impression was "flat". But it does offer preferable qualities, as does the original. Regardless, the original needs to be cleaned up similarly.

I'll let 'em soak for awhile and then make a decision - perhaps both depending on the intended use.

Very nice comp and processing. My thought is perhaps to burn down the highlights a bit more on the little leaf in the center of the image. I get drawn right to it every time I look at it. Liking the large bright leaf as a focus point. The symmetry and lighting on the larger leaf really makes the shot.

Nice, I like them both but No. 2 might go a little too far. Somewhere between the first and second would be perfect!

Klaus and Ryan,

Thank you for looking and the kind comments.

Likely the only way to decide is print up both and see which shows best.

Regards,

Bob

This is a great composition. The first image is my preference, but I would agree that the center-right leaf that is the focal point is very hot. Perhaps taking that leaf from the second image, which is not too hot, and putting it into the first? Stacking the two images and selectively masking the leaves could be the answer.

I'm with Ray. I much prefer the first as well. The bright metallic leaf provides a lively focal point.

@Photo Geekman & John,

Thanks, had not considered placing a second image, I'll see what I can cobble together.
