Horde of Acorns - Sepia

[Christopher Miller]

Same photo that I posted the other day in the Macro forum but this time in sepia. In my most recent sepia shots, including this one, I've been using selective color to create the sepia tone. What you do is after converting to B&W, create a selective color adjustment layer and adjust the colors of the whites, neutrals, and blacks to tone the photo. Any C&C are welcome!

Olympus SP-550 UZ
f8.0 @ 1/30, ISO 200, -0.7 EV
Aperture priority mode, pattern metering
Processed in PS CS2; cropped, curves adjustment, two luminosity masks, burned the LRC a little, cloned out two bright spots on the leaf, channel mixer, and converted to sepia using selective color

Christopher, Composition is very nice and I like the overall look. I might take a bit of the "orange look" out of the image. I think the details and the lighting looks good.

Thanks Denise, very good suggestion. Here's a repost with the color desaturated a bit. Let me know what you think.

Christopher, It looks better to me.
