Thought it was a boab in the thumbnail - nice minimal tonings.

I like the shadow play behind the twigs

I too like the way the twig and its shadow are getting all mixed up.

Boring is not always a bad thing to an old man. We tend to take pleasure in the small things in life.

Well, I like it !! Its this kind of photography that is now attractive to me. I love the shadows, the shape, the tones, great job here. In the opening first episode of my weekly project I spoke about this, its titled Quotidian Photography, seeing things differently

Sam, you're selling yourself short. You turned a possibly boring picture into a thing of beauty. Your creative magic has shown itself through Silver Efex, not the other way around.

I agree I like the play of light and shadow

to me it's a graveyard tombstone of one or those polemic symbols - well polemic is not the right word but you know what I'm getting at

Boring vase and twigs?....Yes!
But a good photograph?....You better believe it!

I've come late in the piece Sam, so won't repeat others observation - though I too first thought it a backlit Boab and then a tombstone.

Great shadows, great tones, great DoF. All up, 2 thumbs! .....you've come so far since September 2009 mate
