man this is just gorgeous ... the colours and everything ..
i got totally hooked processing in RAW mainly because my camera skills left a lot to be desired .. like photographs often underexposed, which is saveable in RAW if not too bad .. i then did the minimal edit side challenge where i learnt a whole heap .. i know so much more than i did only half a year ago about my camera and settings etc etc . these side challenges are the best .. i usually do process thru RAW for the colours etc but sometimes i'll just process from jpeg too ... :)

hey kelly .. excellent shot & love that low key border .. just perfect .. the glimpse of the water lhs looks very inviting and those clouds are just beautiful .. !!
& this looks nearly as good as my firetrail !!! .. lol lol LOL ... !! .. actually it looks a whole heap better, coz this is pretty and also looks very easy to run on .. the firetrail is the aussie bush, and i dont think anyone would ever call it pretty ... pretty harsh maybe !! .. and there are so many rocks of all different sizes on the firetrail, that you'd twist an ankle for sure if you tried to run .. i walk very carefully .. mainly so i dont fall and hurt my camera .. i'm repairable .. and i know the camera would probably be repairable, but waiting for the repairs would seriously upset my brain ..
i've been waiting over a month for them to fix my tamron .. its a very ordinary lens really so the wait is not a problem and i'm enjoying using my canon 100mm macro .. bit of a pain sometimes when i dont actually want 100mm zoom, but i find its really good to get to know a lens if you cant use anything else ... i have to say that coz i dont have anything else !!:)

Of course you're hooked! This is SO beautiful. I'm not a fan of running in the grass or little trails... but this one looks quite tempting!

Nice spot! Not sure about the border, but thats just me. Looks like a great place to relax and enjoy the day! Glad you had a clear day! It's been hot clear and humid here, I'm kinda ready for more rain now, lol, well actually it can wait till I'm finished moving...

Nice PP

The chair - well actually the throw on the chair makes me think of an old 1940's movie, with galmour and style

Cool sign...Idiot bloke

I have yet to discover the joys of shooting (or even how to shoot) in Raw. Very nicely composed and works well in the square crop

I must be getting old, I see that path and I think, oooh blimey youd need to be careful not to turn an ankle when running round there

Lovely greens and a great vanishing point shot

This has a great, thin, DOF (which is what you will get with most macros) but I would be even more agressive with the crop. A little noise is to be expected but a simple application of Neat Image will get rid of it. You can download it here and put it in the folder labeled plug ins within the adobe photoshop folder. It will only work on an image that is 1200 pixels or less when used as a free application, but for the purpose of entering challenges here, it will work :) If you lit this with a single low, soft light, it would give a little bit of sparkle to those diamonds and add some lovely rainbow effect through the glass :)
