I took this shot earlier this week. This turned out to be a very interesting setup; I spent a total of 20 minutes working it! Any C&C are welcome.

Christopher,
I'm not tired yet! Keep 'em coming!
Nicely arranged, just-right DOF, nice texture in the leaves, and the toned monochrome really works well.
(And really makes me want to go crawl around in the woods with my macro lens!)

Christopher - I've enjoy the tone and comp on all of your acorn setups. Simple, but with plenty of detail. Great work.

Christopher, I am not tired of your acorn or leaf images either. I enjoy your color toning skills and your compositions. I like the set-up on this one. I think the blur overlay is perfect.

Thanks Chris, Dave, and Denise. Appreciate the comments, and I will most certainly be posting more of my acorn images, and leaf images too! :)
