Dragonfly

By dark_lord  
Or rather a wickerwork insect sculpture in the grounds of Attingham Park near Shrewsbury.
Moira's (mrswoolybill) type of wildlife as it doesn't move Smile

The colour is added as a Version justfor comparison.
Adjusting the Red, Yellow and Green sliders in Affinity gave a stronger effect than those in Nik for this image, something I wasn't ex[ecting so experimentation definitely pays off. But I used Nik for the vignette Smile

Thank you to everyone who commented or voted on The Clearing and to Ian (mac) for his UA.

The difference between the two versions is quite amazing, Keith.

I find the colour version has more punch to it, whereas the mono has very blocked-up shadows in the background. It also appears sharper, in the colour image, and I did not notice it was off the ground on a stick, in the mono.

I wanted it dark Ian, but it's interesting about the sharpness as I used the same settings.

Colour for me Keith ...seems to bring out the feel and tactile nature of the weaved hawker better !
it would have taken a while for someone to make that quite an art form ...
cheers walt
