I was taken by the shape and line of the fallen plant atop the shapes of the underlying ground cover at the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens.
Any comments welcome. I cloned out a few light spots, but left most of the raggedy bits in.
Hand held, probably no polarizer.
This is excellent! B&W was a great choice. The tones and detail are wonderful. No nits here.
-P
Ditto that!! I love the gold toning – with the silvery midtones it looks like a bronze sculpture! Excellent!!!
Thanks, @Preston_Birdwell and @Diane_Miller. I was pretty happy with the b&w work on this, but I always think my b&ws could be better.
Beautiful Tone. Very sharp and a great composition. Perfect in B&W. Has the soul that i really like.
Bonnie, this looks great in b&w as that lets the textures stand out, with the difference showing off the fallen plant and it’s blooms well.
