I'm feeling dramatic: a personal project

I wanted to share a small personal project of mine with you all today! My last couple personal projects have involved some cheerful, seasonally-inspired photos/videos (think my fall fine-art imges or my wintery video of happy memories). This one is definitely not seasonally appropriate--nothing about these images is remotely spring-y. These images happened a bit accidentally; I had taken pictures of some ivy while on a recent photo adventure, and I wasn't wild about the image in color--it just didn't have enough contract/interest/drama, so I started playing around. I usually gravitate towards brighter, colorful, light-filled images, especially when I'm working with images of nature, but right now I'm really enjoying the dramatic and almost-eerie quality that these spring leaves get with these dark tones.
