inspired by patrick in this thread, i decided to revisit my bamboo....

i was going dark on purpose because i wanted to highlight the cane and little else.....

post work includes color temperature adjustment, high pass layer, adding color to the cane, and some vignettes....

thanks

Man oh man, I love bamboo. Your photos just make me swoon! That particular shade of gold is just so beautiful. Very nicely done!

Bamboo in Mississippi huh.....some people grow it here too. It is beautiful stuff.....If it is dense enough, it would make a great background for portrait photography......Glad to hear that any of my posts might inspire someone to take another look....that was really the goal behind my "evolution of a shot" series. just before the one you referred to......So I am rather flattered as I am a true photography newbie....started about a year ago with a point and shoot and got dslr in February so I shoot and learn on the fly!

beautiful shapes and textures, I like how you kept the attention on the stalks by keeping it a little dark , all the shades of green is really pretty .. I like them all

that gold is what my eye sees when i go out there.....unfortunately, it all goes either bright yellow or muddy green when i shoot it.....some of that gold is by my post working hand....
