 This is a piece of papyrus paper with some Egyptian style art on it. I am shooting the back side of the paper with backlighting shining throught the papyrus to bring out the detail.

This was shot on a tripod with a cable release to minimize blur on the long exposure.

Post processing: levels, color balance, resize and USM.

Yes, and a fine photo image of this material. I can't argue with the facts nor the photos of the matter.

A nice image but the papyrus has no more appeal/pop then the green background behind it. I'm really not sure how to improve this.

Yes it was.

Increased contrast may improve this.
