Sorting the Hops

I posted a black and white SOOC version of this shot yesterday. A number of people mentioned they had not seen hops before and @ludwigsdiana commented that it was a pity the shot wasn't in colour so I decided to post this version of the shot in colour to better show the hops. This is taken from a RAW file (the JPEG was shot in B&W) and has had some basic processing applied as well as a slight crop therefore is not sooc.

Thanks Chris, it looks terrific! I love the shapes and tones of those fresh little Hops flowers. They are actually very beautiful.

I do love the smell of hops!

You're messing with me. When I saw it I thought I'd seen it before. It's just as interesting in color, but the focus of attention jumps to the hops themselves in this version.
