excellent photo,slej! maybe just a tad more contrast?

[slejhamer]

Thanks for looking and commenting.

Tim, I had thought about that; here is a slightly higher contrast version, with the shadows and midtones set to an overlay blur. The feel is a little different.

And here is a grainy B&W version, also with the higher contrast:

Not sure about either; kinda like the "fuzzy" feel of the low-contrast version. Just preference I suppose.

I like this image very much indeed.
The tight crop gives a pleasing abstract effect
and the muted colors of the original are most attractive.
Very creative and polished work, Slej

Thank you very much Eland. I appreciate your (and everyone's) comments.

Ok Slej, so you post one fabuous image and then, just to be cruel another one at the same time. For the sake of us mortals, can't you at least, space em out a bit? It feels like you are producing this standard of work on a daily basis :wink:

Anyway, inspirational; I love this because it seems to draw me in to the image and makes me want to shoulder my tripod, put on my boots and stomp around looking for great shots....

Hmmmmm.

I'm geting the feeling of an warm alien forest with soft sounds and a light breeze... :-)

Very nice pic.

The first one is my favourite, it is so stunning. I also had a look at your gallery - I am very impressed to say the least.
