Ann, I agree with Mark - this is a nice image, but the green had a lot more oomph. Sort of a choice between contour and form or depth and dynamism. Just my 2 cents.
Personally, I like the color version of this one... it has more impact IMO and, it would be considered fair game as a monochrome image IMO also :-) Mark J
Very engaging photograph. A bed of curves, curls, twirls, and intervening shadows. The lack of a dominant point of interest serves the image well; my eyes loitered for a while. Excellent depth and clarity too. Very well conceived and nicely done. Joe Reilly
