The patterns in the middle are sort of hypnotic, don't you think?

80-200/2.8 at 200 mm, f/16 at 1/6 second. Tripod of course.

I've Ortonized this, so it is here in Photo Art.

I'm wondering if a more heavy-handed "art" treatment is in order.

Pete, I think this is a wonderful image, my first impression was that the leaf in the LRC was distracting, but after looking at this a bit longer I think it adds something. Your comp and DoF are excellent and I agree with the "hypnotic" suggestion. A variation might be to add a little poster edge if you feel so inclined, I personally would leave it as is. Try posting this in Flora, we don't bite.

Great center detail. The ortonization technique works really well on this image. Like it!
