lunch break time so I grabbed my camera and saw this scene. It looked to me crying to become a b/w shot so what do u guys think?

i did some funky stuff in PS, did i go overboard? is it boring? wasted my time?

I think I see what you were trying to do......but for me......there is too much going on; I am not sure what to look at first.

i know, i wanted those leaves in the middle to stand out from the rest. guess its back to the drawing board... thx for comment..

See how much stronger the composition is if you crop out that vertical piece of wood on the left side. Then, your leaves start to jump out at you. You also need more tonal range. You have rich pure black, but no pure white in the picture.
