Thanks everyone for the great comments. I really liked the way this turned out. If you want to see the leaves, simply do a negative image on the picture - it really does look like a plant that way.

This one boggles the mind! Love the shapes and lighting...there are some rough edges on the left and right that I would have probably removed...still a definite 9...had to change it to 10

This one is abstract and beautiful. Excellent choice to do it in black and white.

Such a unique image! Curious to know what this is! Paper? Plants? Something else? Very mysterious!

Excellent use of lines and curves in this. The tones are magnificent, and the whites are handled to perfection. This I would hang on a wall!
