I wasn’t exactly sure what to do with this one. It was the product of a “hey, go back, that looks kind of cool” moment. I’m not over the moon about the image. I think both the composition and processing has a bit to be desired, but what the heck, maybe someone else will find some inspiration in it. If that happens, mission accomplished. If not, at least you had a glimpse of something you might not have otherwise.

This image has a lot of grittiness and texture…could it be better served in b&w? (Only suggesting since you said you weren’t thrilled with the image.)
I think you are right on Barb. I always appreciate the insight. Thanks much!
