Thanks Don and John. Steve I did try a tighter crop but thought it lost some context, not having the relationship with the older leaves.
I get what you mean, but I (and I must stress it's probably just me) feel a tighter upright crop would have more impact, without losing all the context. I can show you if you like, if you don't mind me mucking about (technical post-processing term :wink with your image. But it's your image and if you are happy with it, who am I to say nay?

Funnily(?) enough, I had decided to get rid of all my Olympus kit (body and a few lenses) just before the lock-down started.

I've always had great timing, me.

I like the subject and the treatment, but (being me :wink would have gone for a more tighter crop.

Never used the cameras on my phones - all Android - as, for some reason, it insists I give it access to the microphone and my contacts list and I see no reason why it should need them. Especially the latter.

I thought he was Panasonic, that's when he did come to our camera club extolling the virtues of the Lumix - he was shocked when I told him I couldn't stick EVF. I actually preferred Gary Coward-Williams or Damien Demolder as editors.
That would be the Damien Demolder who is now the big-cheese on the LumixExperience forum?

Inspired by Lennybloke's question on which was best, colour or mono, for one of his pictures and my suggestion of sepia, I was inspired to re-do one I did some time ago (the original has the edges cut off) for another forum. With a bit of added noise and some lens blur, it could have been taken, ooooh, some time ago.

But it does support the idea that it works best with the right choice of subject.
