Wild Grapes

[David Eckels]

Down the road, at the bottom of the holler, these wild grape leaves drew my attention. One "real" one abstracted.

[Eric Myrvaagnes]

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.

[David Eckels]

You are so generous, Eric, and thank you and Merry Christmas!

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.

[David Eckels]

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!

Eric, 👍🏻 That's a thumbs up, just to be clear

+1.  (That's a "thumbs up" translated into decimal.)
