Fallen Leaves

Well exposed with nice highlights where expected and good shadows. If this is intended to be an experiment to test development times, it seems like a pretty reasonable effort.

For my taste, however, my eyes are distracted by the shadow at the bottom of the frame. A bit of dodging might be warranted. I want the background pavement to be more uniform so that (a) the leaves pop off the pavement and (b) the shadows of the leaves and seed ball create the deeper darks so that you get some more tension in the photograph.

Nice process, looks great!
