Really, really nice and testament to just how much color can matter for aesthetics and perception. - David Lyga

I like the absence of scale. The blurring of the foreground makes it readable as anything from one hand to over my head high.

The warm tone is a good choice. I'm trying to imagine it colder, and it seems it would be more aggressive that way. This is sort of friendly. (I think I need more tea...)

@David Lyga @grahamp Thanks for the comments David and Graham. Was a bit windy and there is a hint of motion blur in the leaves as well to help soften. Still worked in B&W, but the sepia I think makes a better picture. The warmtone paper takes sepia very strongly, so I use selenium first to stop it going too browny red.

Lovely tree. Never seen one like that. Like the sepia tone. I too was a bit thrown off scale by the blurred f/g. Very exotic locale!

@ReginaldSMith Its a pandanus palm very common along the cost here.

Love to see all those exotics we never see here. I'll be looking for more of yours,
