Curtains

Well, that is what this reminds me of! :wink: This unidentified plant grows down by the river. Instead of the usual saturated colour and high contrast I decided to try for a low contrast, high key, desaturated look. Thanks, Tim

Nice image Tim. Getting a good exposure of whites outdoors can be a real challenge, but this looks great. I like that the whole frame is in focus too. Neat idea.

Fantastic work, Tim - first with the comp, and then with the tonal and color work! If this plant is mostly vibrant green, and given you found it by a river, then I think it is a False Helebore. They tend to like moist areas. If you search on "Helebore" over on CNP, a few images should come up. Congrats on the editor's pick also - well-deserved!

A very nice presentation of a natural subject. Inspires me to try something different with my pictures.
