A reduction of bamboo

This was a difficult challenge.
1. Practical - my image was surprising light - maybe I'm still getting to grips with the settings, I reduced mid-low tones in post processing.
2. Planning - leaves are often darker than their background, so how to bring out highlights; I'd hoped that some of these leaves would be highlighted as lighter against the background, in the end the canes stood out best.
3. Phew!
