Thank you Paul.
I like your choice of words: ambience.
It's what I hoped the foto would have.
Thanks again.

A stunner. An image that could be rendered in many ways, B&W, contrasty or as it is and still be a fine image.

I agree the mood is great here. Peaceful and lazy (in a good way). One small nit I have to pick is I would have liked to see more separation between those nice moss strands hanging down and the background. They get a little lost and would add more if they were up against something dark that made them stand out.

I agree with everyone here. The mood is great. I might boost the green a little. It's a little muddy to my eyes.

I like the composition and lines here: well-seen!

Thanks everyone for looking.

Matt- I did mess around with the Spanish Moss in front of the light background. Made the moss a little sharper and the background a little softer. It helped, but maybe not enough.

Polaris- Gave the greens a boost in a duplicate image. To my eyes, that didn't seem to do much. Maybe I made the white balance too warm to begin with ?
