Bamboo

I've been experimenting a bit with this one. Below are four variations. I find that I like them all. Which one do you like best?


1. Full Color, picking up the aesthetic flavor of a sume-e (墨絵) bamboo painting photographically.


2. Inverted Monochrome. Capturing more of the feeling of sumi-e painting but still clearly photographic.


3. Stll making no pretense of being anything other than a photograph, the enhanced contrast more closely resembles the contrast of a painting.


4. With a sumi-e algorithmic filter applied, to interesting effect.
