 calculations to b/w, that's about it. some subtle sharpening.

The broken branch had this formation on it like a grip. So I gripped it. If you're familiar with the 100mm, it's not easy to take a photo of your own hand with it. The calculations (I believe it was the red and blue channels) did a good job of making my skin better match the wood.

I like it. The focus is more on the rock, though, and not on the fingers.

I like the choice of B&W, but I would have been interested to see the whole hand, or grip.

love the concept but feel it would benefit from less cropping - a bit more context
