Notes:
When I took this shot, I was attempting to show new growth from what appeared to be old, dead wood. Unfortunately, there’s not enough variation in tone to illustrate this. Zooming in on a specific area might have helped. Decreasing the focal plane may also have been an option, but surprisingly, I prefer the complexity and visual clutter. I’m going to rescan the negative. If the results are favorable, I’ll try editing with the Wacom tablet.
