Inspired by the thread SDW posted " Color on Color IV: is black and/or white a color?" so I thought I would shoot it and see what the voters think. My guess 33% say no.
First time I ever used a jacket sleeve as a snood to channel the output of a flash, I liked the results.
Shot with 2 off camera flashes, converted from raw in lightroom, slight rotation, sent to PS, levels and contrast, topaz denoise, usm, save for web usm and post.
It is probably too polished to go for the brown, but there is hope.

Then shame on me. LOVE the idea of using a sleeve as a snoot. I'm gonna try that too :-)
The finely rendered tonal gradations are eyepopping, but I'm aghast. Why enter such a beautifully executed image in a "color" challenge? OK, maybe it's not purely monochrome, but......c'mon. A reluctant 7. In another challenge who knows maybe an 11.
I love this shot. The peelings, the color, the lighting. The fact that it doesn't appear to be over processed. Everything about this shot is wonderful! One of my top picks, for sure.
I love the boldness of this shot, the texture & detail is well controlled yet it has a wonderful 'messiness' to it that I enjoyed. I have started selecting my personal top 3, congrats on 3rd
