 Crop, levels, hue/saturation adjustment - changed blening mode to soft light. Used natural light in a really damp part of the garden. Did not dodge and burn either, its just the way the light was shining on the bush through a tree.

Needs a bit more focus I'm afraid.

Poor technicals (bad focus or camera shake) killed this shot. I really like the lighting used and I think the photo would have a good chance if the technicals were cleaned up.

Low light is tricky without a tripod. Nice concept, but it's a bit too blurry.

Interesting idea for the composition, but unfortunately, the focus seems to be too soft on the crucifix -- maybe from the slow shutter speed.
