My third attempt at photographing and processing.
I revisited and realised i cut off heaps of data on the bottom of the picture but i stuck with this version as i just like how it turned out and fills the frame. I am still working out how to not cut off the black point too harsh. I kind of like how it pops up though when i make the background darker.
I would appreciate any comments or tips.
