May I ask how much and exactly what post-processing you had to do to get the lovely tonalities in these images--the grey of the bamboo shafts matching the grey ash on the bricks, and the luminous green of the leaves in the first shot against the darker monochromatic background.
Still catching up on concert photos... Red Mountain is a avant-garde bohemian pop band with ballads that are especially good live, great for dancing. One of my favorite things is a big band on a small stage - tonight they crammed themselves onto the small stage of the Cedar Lounge, with the horn section standing on the stairs and dance floor.

Thank you.
The first image had rather minimal processing; Camera Standard in RAW with +5 colour saturation, +5 contrast then exported to PS for resizing in stages to 1600px. I use size reduction script that runs in few stages and adds sharpening in separate two layers. Masking was used to sharpened layers (with reduced opacity) but only to highlighted bamboo leaves.
The second image was PP with similar settings except with Camera Landscape profile. Yes, the bamboos trunks had similar grayish hue to the deteriorated wall, hence my capture. Hope it helps.
