I took this back in 2008 while doing some portraits in a local park. At the time I thought the photo was pretty so-so, but in looking now I feel time has added some fondness

I really like the lights and darks in this Ned, you got quite a lot of depth to this image at 2.8 too, a wonderfully framed pattern of leaves.

Ned: This is quite a striking photo even though it almost in monochrome. Although some of the leaves are a bit hot, IMO they contribute to the image rather than detract from it. A B&W conversion may also work.

Ned: I'm glad you reconsidered. Terrific color and I like what the shallow DOF does for the branches and BG leaves. Well seen and captured. >=))>

The light and your shallow dof makes for a very magical shot here, Ned. Excellent work.

This is just so great to look at! A very serene image... Definitely something one can put up (Big) in their home or office.
