I like this. It is a subtle image, very understated, and works well.

I really like the layering here Albert. I think there are lot of possibilities for compositions here.

I like the subtle nature of this, Albert. I could see increasing the yellow saturation just a bit, but this works well as is.

Absolutely marvelous. A uniquely different look at nature that shows great insight into our natural world. Bravo. Eliot Porter would have shook your hand.

Very interesting layering. This has a very artistic look to it.

I like the layering here Albert. Very understated and chaotic, but it works. I could see blurring the background layer a little, just to more emphasize the spiraea.

There's a lot going on here, Albert, but at the same time, you've got things nicely layered. The subtle colors work well and the spirea sets off the shapes of the seed heads very well. Well seen.

brilliant eye for this - great layers. in the topsy-turvy world of galleries, this could sit quite comfortably in Flora ....! i do feel that some of TK's trickery could come into play to enhance some of the contrasts and colours ...

This reminds me of something Eliot Porter might do, Albert. I really like the subtle beauty and chaos you captured in this image. Excellent work.

Nice layers. I might like to see a tad more color, and contrast. It's cool how something that is dead, or dying can make a neat image.

Albert, I agree with Ed Lowe...reminds me of some of Eliot Porter's work, and that is good! A well done creative image!

I really like the comp and subject matter. Nice overall balance. I could see bumping up the saturation and contrast somewhat but the subject seems to reflect the understated approach.
