About the Image(s)
The original was shot with my Nikon D800, Nikkor 105 f2.8 Micro; 1/90 @ f11 ISO 5000. Lighting two diffused crosslights to emphasize the leaf edges, and one dimmer barn door top light for fill. Processing in Rough adjustments in ACR, in PS cleanup, stylize/find edges, remove junk, large increase in contrast to eliminate gray areas, Invert; Topaz SharpenAi, Finalize in PS. I see additional images that I will work on when inspired. Hope you like it.

Hi Peter, I love how creative and unique this interpretation is! The intricate details from the "Find Edges" stylization and high contrast adjustments make it visually striking, with an almost abstract quality. The black and white treatment, combined with the inverted tones, beautifully emphasizes the organic structure and transforms it into a captivating piece of graphic art. The lighting setup is excellent-the cross-lighting brings out the edges and textures perfectly, while the fill light adds just the right amount of depth without overpowering anything. It's such a fantastic piece! Posted: 12/10/2024 20:23:17
