OCOLOY Day 216: Begonia - Leaf and Bud 2

For the back-story to this little leaf in an old medicine bottle see my Doubletakes image for 1 August - http://365project.org/vignouse/doubletakes/2016-08-01 This low-key image was what I originally had in mind but I wasn't happy with it so I changed to a high-key treatment. I liked the moodiness of the low-key approach though so I shot it again tonight and this time I'm happy(ish) with it!

As usual, the image is SOOC and is part of my ongoing OCOLOY project - you can read more about it in my profile.

Viewing on black is nice too...

I believe I like them both. They have different moods.
