These are the same two acorns that were in my recent post in the macro forum, just closer up. For this tritone, I wanted a deep, rich sepia tone. Any C&C are welcome!
Olympus SP-550 UZ

Processed in PS CS2; slight crop, curves adjustment, channel mixer, tritone conversion, and added a vignette
amazing textures coming through here. love the tone and detail. IMO it would have been slightly stronger if the veins were coming out of the top corner. :)
I was thinking the same thing as Morkel...those veins coming out and down from the corner would have been nice. The tritone is GORGEOUS, though...wow. You might also consider dodging a few small areas on the acorn that are already the lighter tones just to make the image have another layer of tone.
