Another nice shot Brian
That path-like thing on the right draws my attention a bit. May be a little more darkening on that side ?

Re: The Old Man's Advice ~ Beware the Shadows when they whisper your name
It's more the brighter area top left that caught my eye.
The lighting is wonderful. Also worth noting, I think, is the, in my opinion, perfect sharpening. It's very easy to be tempted to over-sharpen an image such as this. There's a softness, a silkiness and lusciousness retained, which, for me, makes it.

Nicely done, very rich background similar to oil painting.

Re: The Old Man's Advice ~ Beware the Shadows when they whisper your name
Top left corner also caught my eye, as Donald has mentioned. And there are a couple of very small brighter spots around the bottom right corner which I would clone out.
But these are very minor thoughts about a good idea which has photographed well.

Re: The Old Man's Advice ~ Beware the Shadows when they whisper your name
I have been working at not over sharpening. The top left was a tough choice. Do I leave in the background Lily or take it out. If I take it out I lose some of the shadows whispering. I could have darkened it down a bit. Originally Posted by Donald

Re: The Old Man's Advice ~ Beware the Shadows when they whisper your name
I am beginning to wonder how to make the background the foreground. Or more of the foreground. If that makes any sense? Originally Posted by Shadowman

I am beginning to understand the maxim about no small parts only small actors from a photographic perspective. It is the little things that make a big difference. Please do not stop looking and commenting. Originally Posted by Geoff F

Very nice Brian, maybe just a little muting of the lily.
