Taking over...

Walking home today, I saw this wild brier slowly taking over the bench. So, here it was, another chance framing the shot witha fixed focal length and learning (I hope). The bench still tries to keep the growth in control, but will it win in the long run...?

Camera: Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Exposure: 0.001 sec (1/1600)
Aperture: f/1.8
Focal Length: 50 mm
Exposure: +0.25
ISO Speed: 200
Exposure Bias: -1 EV
Flash: Off, Did not fire
Lens: EF50mm f/1.8 II

I start liking this lens more and more, so I believe that I'll start with fixed focal length lenses faster than I had thought previously... We'll see what time brings.

Curves, Brightness, Levels and a very decent framing ;)
