Not sure about this one. Is it mystically dark, or just gloomy? Opinions, as ever, valued.

It's quite spooky, but I would be tempted to add a bit of vignette, and especially to darken the lightish blobs in the lower left corner, as I find them distracting.

I'm in full agreement with Eric's suggestions but it's already very good in its initial version.

No, Russ. It's not an 86-year-old, I'm pretty sure it's a spry 77-year-old.
Like me.  :D

But, Jeremy, the blossom isn't perfect! ;) I like it and I think the B&W decision is a great one.

Sorry about the blossom, David. I got there just too late.

I read, I consider and I find that agree. Here's a revised version.

I agree, too; it's an improvement.
