Hi Fiona, Nice shine on those leaves! And I like the little cluster of berries. I also like your rich darks. You have a good value range. I’d like to see a bit more care with the embossing. Embossing is tricky. It tends to be too uniform. Partly because you are working blind. Try practicing to get more variations in value and width. The lines should taper as they get closer to the edge.

Thanks Kate for your feedback . I agree re embossing, I tend to get a bit carried away instead of really observing my subject .
Beautiful shine on those leaves, Fiona.
Thanks Vern .
