 loved the tones and colors of this one, really brings out the thorns well. Some might say parts are overexposed but I wanted it that way to exagerate the shadows.

Converted from raw and adjusted exposure, contrast and saturation.

interesting composition and lighting. There are a few things appearing in the background, would look better with a completely dark background.

Not sure what that is but you have a tad bit of something trying to come back out from the background. Needs to be burned so you can't see it.
