Amazing details; works very well in b/w Keith.

Belle image

A beautifully framed and edited monochrome shot Keith. The wall gives a nice bokeh effect.
A lovely image.

MAGGGGGNIFICENT!!! Viewed large it's even better. Wonderful details and textures to appreciate. Perfect focus and lovely bokeh to enjoy. Super format and framing. What's not to love?! :D

Hey, thanks for your latest gushing review on my last presentation...my ears are glowing! :D *hugs*

Also, thanks too, for the idea of getting a mini-tripod. GREAT IDEA! I took a look at the one you suggested and it's really quite nice. However, that Manfroto is only meant to hold about 2.2 pounds, whereas my camera and macro lens are 3.3 pounds...with more reading, folks consider it to be too lightweight for a combo DSLR+lens with length (as you mentioned). It can be a heavier deal than 2.2 pounds but only if it's a short lens. Though the 100mm 2.8L isn't TERRIBLY long, it isn't short at all and it's not a feather. That being said, I did some more looking around and found a more robust mini tripod which would certainly do the job: www.amazon.com/Pedco-UltraPod-Lightweight-Camera-Tripod/dp/B000ANCPNM/ref=as_li_ss_tl?tag=mini-tripod-20&crid=27QLZX46XV8IY&keywords=pedco+ultrapod+ii&qid=1558587618&s=gateway&sprefix=pedco%2caps%2c917&sr=8-1&linkId=f545996b9614b5b635e6981c91ca4e6b
It's got one leg longer than the others and also has a 6lb capacity. So I think I may just pick one up, and thanks for the idea...it WOULD be nice to have the option when I need it! :)

Great work Keith, the mono does this real justice.

An outstanding shot. Great detail and the background is perfect.

Impressive!
Nice work Keith.

très belles lignes de vie !!

Mir gefallen die Strukturen im Blatt und im Hintergrund sehr. Ein ausgezeichnetes S/W-Foto, Keith!

Thanks everyone! You're all very kind :-)

This is gorgeous. A fresh take on a plant that is not well loved here, but is everywhere. Won't make me stop pulling it out, but I will come back to enjoy this photo over and over!

I'd love to have this in my group 'naturey crap - crappy nature' (name explained on group page) - if you want.

Thank you kind lady! I'm pleased that you like it and I've posted it in your group as you suggested :-)

*smile*

Amazing....I like the vains of this leaf in b/w!
