Default Curves

Another shot from the backyard. I've really started to enjoy b&w nature because of the contrast and detail.

That is a really nice photo. It grabs my attention at the top of the curve and makes me follow to the bottom. I like photos that make you look, thanks for sharing.

Amazing capture ghmass. The DoF really brings it to your attention. Really sharp focusing.

Thanks for all the positive comments. The curve is from a vine which had started to grow through my backyard hedge. I thought it look very much like a music note as well.
