 Felt like using the same idea as Day 1 in the last day to come full circle. Shot at the same time of day, but the the light was very different due to the time difference between the two shots.

Lighting: Naturally light, mid afternoon. Built-in (FEC set to -1EV) to fill in the shadows on the branch a little. Wanted to use f2.8 as with Day 1, but the use of fill flash maxed the shutter speed to 1/250 and I had to close down to f4 for correct exposure.

Post processing: RAW. Black and white conversion, channel mixer with 100% blue and 25% green. Curves in overlay mode to increase contrast. Levels to set the black point and the grey point. Noise Reduction to make the bokeh a little smoother.

Done.
