I know from experience that it's painstaking to get the exact right composition with so many elements in the scene (assuming this was shot up through the leaves?). They seem superfluous and to somehow clutter up and distract from the lovely colors and shapes in the rest of the image.
So take this as an overall positive Possibly since this is artified as you say, lightening or replacing the color of those dark brown elements could make a difference. Those close to the center could likely be cloned out with the almost white highlights seen in the background. That's my thoughts Tom C. ============= Okay, I sort of liked them, but I take you point. The ones in the middle may be a bit distracting. I actually may redo this, I'd sort of like the edges highlighted in black without a lot of speckling. But I haven't figured out how to do that yet. Thanks for your input, Tom.
