may i have this next dance?

SOOC leaf... used the monochrome picture style in camera, with boosted contrast and red filter... i'm positively dying to tweak the contrast to bring up just a smidgeon more white... i rather wish i'd used a sepia tone on this one... used sepia on some other shots and they have a nice bit of sheen... but i ended up liking this "pose" better... and i can't face a reshoot at this hour...

This is lovely. Very elegant.
The two things that bugged me on mine were not being able to crop/straighten and wanting soooo much to tweak the levels. ;)
