You always manage to see what we so often don't see,
or rather that we are just to busy to see in life.

Another nice addition to your portfolio Sher.

Th bottom lightness bothers me and I would prefer it darker - but then I like a lot of contrast in my monos :)

Comment by RonBeam:
There is a tone-to-subject inversion going on here. While everything IN this shot screams "very nice", there is a primary contradiction that offers confusion. The lighter tones in B&W are nearly always "guides" to attract the eyes of the viewer to where the photographer wants them to go. At the same time, focus is a standard eye draw as well. You see the conflict here? The lighter tones in the back say, "Look here." while the foreground focus says, "Hey ... here." giving the effect of a duality in the center of the frame (which also calls the eye.) It almost appears your subject is sticking a white tongue out. This could be corrected by darkening the OOF midground vegetation and lightening the FG focused subject. Bringing the top border down a pinch to cut off about a half inch of the top of the rearmost frond while leaving its swirling shape will also serve to remove that element as a possible subject.
