Very beautiful, Dwayne, as ever, but perhaps a little heavy-handed with the toner?

I like it but I'm a bit bothered by the blueish tone of the lower part of the image.

I like it, it almost has a musical rythm to it.

It is possible that the bluish tones represent more shadowed parts of the image.
I am undecided whether this image is a deliberate monotone or not.

Nonetheless the puzzling aspects of this image seem only to highlight the beauty, symmetry and rhythmicity of the image.
Well done in producing such a startling and engaging image.

Really nice image Dwayne.  I would be interested in your view on the tint issue because I seem to be struggling with tints as well.

One of those very nice images that would make a terrific large canvas. But the blue tint is a bothersome distraction. It might work if the blue was tuned way down.

Very elegant in any shade.

The scale at the top either is or seems a little bigger than at the bottom.   Maybe it's the toning.  Or maybe my imagination has run amok.

Many thanks for your honest views everyone ! I really appreciate it !
I have been doing a little experimenting with tones and the graduated neutral density
tool in the software.

Take care,
