8th (tie): Growth * by Marry Anne

Holyoke, Massachusetts USA

I thought this was a perfect texture shot, but had a terrible time getting this under 150K while maintining any sharpness. Of course, part of the problem was that I had forgotten to change the ISO setting after the low-light work I had been doing a couple of days ago. I may go back and get it right some other morning before the challenge is over.

Hope you make it back to shoot again Mary Anne. I've found that any shot with a lot of bricks in it is very hard to hold the quality on when limited to 150K. Good eye.

Excellent, Mary Anne.

Thanks for the suggestion, Rod. I tried it on this version and on the original, and the bright part of the vines just looked too "blown" to me. So, I think I'll just leave it as is until I can get another shot...at the right setting.

I downloaded it Mary Anne & gave it a USM of 100....point 3..... 0 & it sharpened up fine to my eyes.
The shot looked excellent Mary Anne well done:-)
