Actually, I shot it during the day, but there was a fair amount of shade. Shot it using the E-10's macro lens extension. Took it home, played with the contrast a bit, then converted it over to B&W. I then took an eyedropper to one of the leaves in the original color image and created a toning layer over the B&W image in that color. All part of me trying to understand how to create "sepia" and similar duotone images. :)
I have no idea why the stem on the right plant seems to vanish mid-way up. I was experimenting with a more complicated way of sharpening the image and may have inadvertently eaten it.
