Marnie,
Uh. I wasn't wild about the gray, but the black is too dark. Those leaves glow, the background doesn't need to be flat black to show they glow.
actually, the background isn't flat black but unfortunately not much was left in these areas probably because of compression. I had to burn it more than I'd like to.
You can try it for yourself - all I wanted to do in Photoshop was:
1. select gray areas with the magic wand
2. adjust levels to about 140-255
but then the compression artifacts showed up badly. So I had to move the lower mark up to 165.
Actually, I'd what I'd like an interpretation of is that interpretation statement.
Sometimes I don't understand everything I read from this list but this is too much. :-O While I understand every word I don't understand it at all. Would it be possible to "translate" this sentence to the "English for dummies", please? :-)
My mother tongue is Slovak, in the various schools I've learned Russian and French (not that I'm good at both of them, sadly) but my English is entirely self taught so far.
Cheers,
Bedo.
