.....Melancholy...

Thanks for looking...

I like it, although it has a very lonely feel to it... Your DOF is great ... and I like how the light is reflecting on the webby parts of the plant. Good eye for this!

Lou Ann ... thanks for your nice to comment. I think you are right 'bout the lonely feeling here.. and your comment makes me change the title... thanks for that.

anytime...

very nice light and DOF

I like the way the lighting makes the plant stand out against the busy background. Sepia works well for this, too. I'm thinking in color, the background was probably too overwhelming - is that right, Bente?

Thanks for the comments Christina and Kim.

 

Of course there is a color version of this and I think the background in that one works too .... warmer .. but I have to confess that I'm very addicted to duo tones/sepia for the moment... Please bare with me (-;

Bente, I think you have done well in capturing the mood here. The sepia is very effective here.
