Monochromatic Melody [Contest Finalists March 2010]
Uploaded: March 01, 2010 08:00:14
Same photo as yesterday converted into black and white in Photo Shop CS4.
I also used the burn and dodging tools to heighten the contrast between the center more sharply focused foreground leaves and those darker leaves in the background.
There is also a tad of sharpening and levels adjustment.
Entered into Digital Darkroom.
