This sure evokes a feeling of sadness, for me anyway. I like the white in the foreground and the greenish/blue hue in the background. I like that one twig is so prominent and yet the others are still visible and almost seem to be reaching towards the main twig.

Delicious color and wonderful dof! It's as if the little stems are reaching up to the light to be reborn, I love this!

This just seem magical and full of life. You've done a great job of creating a sense of motion, and I love those tones you used.

I love macros and this is a beauty. It reads to me as very late autumn almost winter (because of the icy blue).

The narrow DoF gives this an almost 3D quality! Just beautiful! : )

The bluish cast on this one works very well for the subject - an almost subaquatic look

I like the subtle tones in the photo and the depth of field that you used in it. I love the out of focus branches in the background, it keeps the eyes looking for other things. Nice Job.

Quiet, forlorn, and cold. Very nice work.

It looks so frigid! No doubt a big help from your stellar processing. Wonderful dof and commanding focus.

oh,now you're just showing off! this is the lovliest dead weed I have ever seen...
very peaceful tones and I love the play with DOF and the varying levels of focus and boke, swirling through the image like the plant's stems and "fingers"

The oof areas in this add to the feel of autumn and dyingness (is that a word?) Wonderful, subtle color.

Another nice dead plant shot. Your DOF is very nice.

Now that's cool...the lines, the tones, the bokeh...all work together to make this intriguing and thought-provoking.

Oh, Lisa! Again. . . I LOVE THIS! I love the edgy way you make your plant life look so artsy. This is really beautiful.

Absolutely stunning. I had to take in breath when I saw it.

BEautiful. It has a magic quality. The DOF is perfect. The empty fingers of the plant seem to be reaching for something (woah, I got a little deep, huh?)

Dead or alive? I'd say it's "mostly dead".
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Brilliant, Lisa ! I have done these many times but never as gorgeous as this ! Toning down the browns & getting that DELICIOUS blue BG really makes this pop :)

Awesome process, is it cross processed by chance?
