Maybe i've overdone the effects too much. The picture could have gone a number of different ways but I was trying to make it interesting while simultaneously trying to hide a few photographic flaws. I'll modify it over time.....

It works great as a desktop. Perhasps not the most original but it does work. Nice one.

Hello Richard, while I am not quite sure what the conveyance is here, I'll mention that I do like the nice tones of black and brown! There seems to be a lot going on here, and that a lot of time and effort went into it's creation, so I say thank you for sharing! Please continue to share! Sincerely, Marilyn

nice colours...........have it as desktop

Yeah, it makes a great destop. Nice contrasting colors. I love the textures! Those and the colors make the photo. Nice work. But don't give away too much of your secrets! Maybe we wouldn't have guessed they were leafs. Or maybe we would. But it's best to keep some of your tweaking a secret. ;-)

maybe :-)
