Hi Debbi. Hope you don't mind but I took some liberties with your entry and did a little post work on it. I like the building and I think it suits the challenge well, but it seems that your autofocus grabbed the foreground branches, and with the shallower depth of field (at F2.8) the background (subject building) just couldn't quite come thru. Did you select ISO 100 and F2.8 on purpose? I'd think you could go up to at least ISO 400 to go a bit deeper on aperture and still maintain a hand-held shutter speed. ???

Anyway - here's a rough workup I gave it to add a little mood. Quick and dirty, so to speak, using my laptop. I'll pull it if you'd rather not have it posted here.

Take care.
Barry

I wouldn't call this a macro, but... I do love the image. And it's beautiful wood.

Thank you, I woke up one morning while trying to figure out what I would do for this challenge and boy was it challenging.
This is where the cup goes on a Keurig coffee maker, some drips linger after you take the cup away, perfect...so I went to work on the challenge.
Thank you, it was a fun challange, my score was a little disappointing on this one, oh well.
I appreciate the good words.

the four agreements ..
I recommend that book to many ppl .. and have read it a couple of times ..
each time going deeper ..
don Miguel Ruiz and his son wrote the fifth agreement .. check it out ..
I feel they are must reads if we are to move out from under our more limiting beliefs ..

this is a great image btw ..
and I'm loving the magnifying glass .. not only for the visual impact but because I feel we could all benefit by looking more closely ..
"who looks outside dreams ..
who looks inside awakes .. carl jung" ..

I'm not voting yet .. :)
