What point?

Very nice processing - good detail and contrast.
I find the OOF point just to the left of the main point to be distracting. Some more horizontal separation there might help?

Tri-X, souped in HC110, cropped and printed on grade 4 or 5 paper.

Classic mono shot from Bob!

I really dig it - great lines!

Maybe pull SLIGHTLY back on the whites and crop some off the bottom to get that black blob outta there.

I also burned the background some (as well as the white leaves to the right) to increase separation.

Cheers,

Jeff

Thanks everyone,

Fun shot and good suggestions to help it along - especially removing the dark area at bottom, somehow missed.

Appreciate your comments and help.

Now for nit-seekers: imperfections on leaves? Go or stay?

If I were to nit, I'd say to clone them out. I love those nice, smooth lines.

I like the imperfections on the leaves... The lines are smooth even with the leaf texture.
2nd one is much nicer in my mind.

Karen, you wield the clone brush with the best of them.

Nicely done, does clear the air a bit.
