 Threw this one together. Life threw a couple of curve balls at me this week, so I don't expect much with this one. I truly expect this one to stay in the basement with scoring, I'll be happy with a 4. But wouldn't be suprised if lower.

This is a simple tangerine sitting on my kitchen counter. I adjust color, contrast, hue/sat, and brightness. I cropped and resized. Shot hand held.

It's not easy to shoot with a hand injury. I dislocated a thumb 5 days ago. But I wanted to make sure I got an entry in - my first member challenge. I am also nowhere near a skilled PSE user, so my advanced editing knowledge is limited at best - so I didn't know how to fix some of the problems with the shot. Hoping for the best nonetheless on this one.

OK, its a tangerine. And I do like the focus on the leaves. But other than the title, it has nothing to do with song and does nothing to make me think of Led Zep.

A little dark, but you did get a nice shallow DoF.

I feel this could benifit from being a bit brighter,

Nice idea. I like the water drops but the whole thing looks out of focus.

Very dark and the background is distracting. The color seems drab too. Maybe shine some light from behind and tone down the saturation.
