Yes Scott, I like it, the tone you have used suits the content well, my eye gets drawn to the little triangle of light on the top of the tallest stalk. The whole image has a very mysterious look about it.

Thanks Catherine - I liked that bit of light too. More specifically I like the fact that some of the sticks were so dark yet the tips revealed just that small touch of light.

Love the toning here Scott but best of all the line that cuts right through the middle and separates the top and bottom of the picture.

I like your decision to go B&W with some toning and agree with Catherine's comment about it being a bit mysterious. I could almost say it has an apocalyptic 'tone' to it what with the dark tone, broken ends, and break-throughs of light here and there.
