Like this one David. You really have to study the photo to make out what it is, then in doing so, realise what a superb shot it is. Shapes, tones and texture all combining beautifully.
I am attracted by the free-flowing lines, the range of tones, the contrasting textures, the balance of the composition – in fact, an unusual and very effective abstract image.
Neat perspective – it is hard to tell whether it’s draped over and hanging from a bush, or lying on the ground. The effort that goes into one of your images really shows. Very nice.
Just what I was hoping to achieve when I made this one – Thanks for the comment, I will leave it alone now. The problem is I am never happy and if you could see my darkroom notes you would understand (My wife says its knowing when to leave it alone its finished!) mind you at 2 o’clock in the morning, paint brush in hand – she is a right one to talk. 🙂
Thank you very much.
This was the last of my Kodak Plus X 125 that I had in my freezer, about 10 years old! For those interested in film, developed in T-Max @ 1+4.

Thank you Dave,
Having fun in the darkroom at the moment.

Thanks Louis,
This is the sort of image I love printing in the darkroom on fibre paper, as I get the tones and paper texture.

Thanks,
It is actually on some course grass just above the tide line and probably came in on a high tide.
David.
I love how this is melding into the grass. Returning to the earth so to speak.

Excellent contrast!
Thanks,
I printed it in the darkroom first and then spent a while matching print & screen.
David.
