Monochromatic Melody

Same photo as yesterday converted into black and white in Photo Shop CS4.
I also used the burn and dodging tools to heighten the contrast between the center more sharply focused foreground leaves and those darker leaves in the background.
There is also a tad of sharpening and levels adjustment.
Entered into Digital Darkroom.
Exif: F Number: 13, Exposure Bias Value: -0.33, ExposureTime: 1/800 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 640, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 100.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark II
