Challenge: Abstract Emotion (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-5D
Lens: Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro
Location: Santa Ana
Date: Sep 27, 2008
Aperture: 8
ISO: 200
Shutter: 6
Galleries: Abstract, Emotive
Date Uploaded: Sep 27, 2008

 PP: Export from Aperture to CS3. Levels for black point, BW conversion then masked the plant. Hus/sat, sampled the fern, bumped saturation to +8. Dodged water drop. Burned leaves. Flatten, resize, lens blur with mask for left leaf. USM with mask for drop and center fern only. Flatten, save for web. Submit for a beating! I'm guessing this will be in the average range for the challenge.

If the water drop was just a bit sharper and defined, this would have gobs of visual impact.

Elements of emotion are present and so is a touch of abstractness.
