Exercise in simplicity
This started out as a colour, 16:9 image from my Panasonic LX2 point-and-shoot camera. Then I cropped it, converted it to B&W, tinted it, and sharpened it — in Picasa (Google’s free image-manipulation program).
Picasa is actually more powerful than people give credit for.

A kind of haunting quality, perhaps because there is a hyperreality effect in being so close, with so much detail, and the colour so ‘unnatural.’ I have a Panasonic DMC-FX01 (also with a Leica lens like yours), and I am astonished at how acute it is. Still, I wish there was some way to override the balancing act the camera does, and keep a greater depth of field.
Beautiful delicacy and subtle toning.
