looking for some feedback on the framing and processing of this image.

can you post the original too... i think i can help with better framing but i need to see the original

I tend to do my framing in camera. I understand most photos argue against this but it's something I prefer, I have others which I can crop but I liked this one the best.

So.. This is uncropped, framed in camera and processed in Lightroom

Not bad at for the conditions, there isn't really much you can do with a dark foreground and overcast background. Maybe should have got some silhouettes!

I wanted to bring out the Focus on the gloominess of the scene while highlhting the green growth. Kind of like a life and death thing. Does the processing work?? Or is it whack? I thought I printing this out and then framing it with a backlight

This might look cool with selective coloring if thats your thing.

I see what you're trying to achieve and the processing does work. Might also work in B&W.. just something to play around with
