Title: Wild Grapes
Post by: David Eckels on December 25, 2021, 09:26:45 am
Down the road, at the bottom of the holler, these wild grape leaves drew my attention. One "real" one abstracted.

Both quite excellent.
I would be tempted to hang framed prints in separate rooms, so I could sit near whichever one suited my mood on a given day.

Clever. I'm partial to the first one. What do you think about removing (or at least downplaying) that oof orange leaf at the lower left? I think it would strengthen your image. Merry Christmas + 1.

Thanks, Bob, I have gone back and forth on that one. Of course, if I removed it or changed its hue, it wouldn't be a photograph ;)!
Don't you think it lends an air of mystery? ;)

David, in my view, a processed photograph is still a photograph, I say: If you can make some tweaks that improve it, then go for it!
