It Ain't Over 'Till its Over

I spent a while photographing that Chinese lantern branch outdoors. I was satisfied that I had something useful when I was done. I brought the branch in to the house and as I walked through the back room, I noticed sunlight coming in through the west window. So I held the branch in the sunlight, and because of the light from the side, which gives texture, and the really dark background made this a much more dramatic picture. So the lesson is, you are never not looking, you are never done trying to find a better picture.
