Hi All,
Just wanted to show my work to ya'all. I took this Outside my home, its an elephant plant leaf.... I took the pic at about 8am, in mostly shady conditions..... I am using photoshop 5.1...... I know old right!!!! So, Whatcha think of it.... worried it wasn't light enough, although I did want to go for more of a dramatic look....!

You have brought out the texture nicely.....the bright spot has a "glowing" look emerging from the shadows.....I like it!
