Rainy Day Vines
I found this bunch laying nearly in the same plane on my recent visit to Proxy Falls. Critiques welcome...

I like the water on the leaves

My eyes are--for the most part-- pulled into the center; an effective aspect for this type of imagery. I'll echo darren in saying I like the water also.

Mike, I like it. To give it more impact, how about adding a Selective Color Layer to it and giving the greens and blacks more black? May I re-post?

You bet. I'd like to see what you are thinking. I appreciate the 2nd opinion.

Here ya go. I think my version focuses on the leaves and drops more since it eliminates the background a bit.

Oh yeah, that works well to hide the background more. I'll have to check out the contrast / color more at home since this monitor is not calibrated, but it does look pretty good from where I am sitting.
