It is indeed, though not particularly shot that way, because of the localized backlighting, I was able to get here in PP with little difficulty.

I like this, the plant/tree stands out well against the textured light back ground, plus I like the composition leaving a lighter space at the bottom, although I may had been tempted to clone out the soft hoop of branch at bottom.

It has a nice clean look to it. Would look good in my office ;D

I think the soft loop helps to give lift to the seed pods - sort of allowing that gentle drift in the vacant space. I used a mental image of a sailplane following the curve of a mesa as it soared upward.

For me, the soft loop keeps my eye from leaving the frame.

This is a tough one for me Chris. While the comp is good and the conversion good it just does not do much for me. I do think it is well done though.  If I figure out why I will be sure to update. |

At first, I wasn't overly excited about the resulting image, almost going back to only the color version. After a while, though, the semi-high key look started to grow on me and now, I find it is one of my favorites.

I must admit it does bring me back to look again. I find myself wanting to see the pods better but feeling the are off in some way, a little too sharp or ......I can't put my finger on it.
