Challenge: Textures II (Basic Editing I)
Camera: Fujifilm FinePix F700
Location: Tulip leaf - back garden
Date: Feb 14, 2004
Aperture: F4.0
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/110
Galleries: Nature, Macro
Date Uploaded: Feb 15, 2004

Water droplets held on a Tulip leaf.

When I first saw the grit I thought it was an insect.

Cropping too tightly on the main drop gave me pixelation ~ not enough resolving power, need true macro lens. But I think the composition draws the eye to the subject element.

So, cropped with a little curves adjustment and a couple of passes of USM.

not my cup of tea sorry. Looks over sharpened.

Pretty - might have been even more effective without those foreground drops - on the less is more proposition. Don't get a strong sense of texture from it, but its a good image nevertheless.

Interesting shot. The out-of-foocus drop in the lower left detracts, I think.

I think this would have been stronger cropped to isolate that water drop. Okay for texture.

+ There are textures visible. I like the natural colours and the small spot in the bubble has its appeal in some strange kind of way.
- Photo could use more DOF (this is especially noticable on the bubble in front).
