Further experiments in black and white. This time Heuchera leaves. I appreciate your thoughts and comments, and thank you for stopping by. - Bob

I like that.
I have never heard of Heuchera.

Gents, thank you very much. Jeremy, I have been so trying to get past the low key 'gloom' that seems to permeate my photos. Maybe I should just embrace it, as it does seem to come naturally.  ;)

I agree with all the positive comments and also agree that you should embrace it; without the gloom the light can't shine!

Given the times in which we live, one can either understand it or wish for the mood to be lightened by something. I'd go for the former: I like gloom.

I agree, embrace the gloom.

You might want to make one print a little lighter (and maybe of the Hosta as well) to hang on a wall where only you will see them every day. That should quickly persuade you to keep the gloom!
