Nature's Fractals

Well I don't know how this is going to look on the web, but here goes... I prepared this as a fine art print for a very dear friend of mine who's an outstanding photoartist.

I was very happy with the original, but I felt that the tritone treatment here emphasised the symmetry and bought focus to the shapes in the composition.

Taken handheld with a Nikon D70S and a manual Vivitar (Komine) Nikon AI 90/2.8 lens which - coincidentally is an absolutely beautiful lens.

For an idea of how sharp this lens is, I had my D70S on the low sharpness setting. At no point did I sharpen this image in Photoshop either.
