Thanks!
This is a good example of photoshop really helping a mediocre shot.
It wouldn't normally be legal b/c I did a layer with gaussian blur and soft light to give the soft focus and really bring out the highlights. I also used dodge/burn some, but the highlights on the leaves were caused by the light coming in under the bridge from the right. Exposure compensation -1/3.
These are next to a train yard downtown. I didn't have much choice in composition because they're leaning against a bridge support... chainlink fence with a distracting background to the right and left.
There's a reason you're tops in my statistically favorite photographer list and this is it. I gave this a pure and unreserved 10 - you make the ivy look dangerous and alive. Good job.
yeah, this is really nice. the soft focus effects give this a very ghostly feel, and the tones just add too it. i love the selective light that really brightens up the center part of this. possibly my only gripe is that, after all, it is just a shot of some leaves with little else really giving it any impact, but the mood is such that it really works. good job. 8.
