FINDING SOLACE IN GREEN

"Finding Solace in Green" (4-21-16 010v2) is a brand new pic with relatively little done to it. Stag horn ferns always get my attention when they're growing. So I was delighted this pic came out decently. The backgrounds to our flora here tend to be rather messy and often there's little I'm willing to (or even can) do to clean them up in my pix. But with this pic I was able to "drop out" much of the considerable background schmutz by increasing the mid-tone contrast. Then what was left I was willing to paint out. As I've said before here, that can sometimes be a lengthy, painstaking process and only worth it when I really want to rescue a pic. And I did want to rescue these lovely shiny green shapes, very much.
