Tiny wildflowers in vase. The vase is about 2 inches tall. Taken indoors supermacro mode. Played with in PSCS - unsure what all I did.

Marsha S. Smith
  Thanks everyone - I'm kind of overwhelmed. The little bottle these are in is one of the tiny perfume bottles you can buy in little sets at Christmas - about 2 inches high and 1 inch across. The flowers are from a really ugly weed that has big yucky leaves, but has these tiny little flowers - maybe just 1/4 to 1/2" across. Shot it against a white background, used diffuse glow and watercolor in PSCS. Kind of shot from the top so the bottle looks shorter than it really is.

  Thank you Gail, Deb, Terry, Cathy S., Vicki and Evy.
I love old bottles and jars. When digging new flower beds sometimes I come across an old bottle of some kind. I save these and during the spring and summer I am always putting tiny flowers in them. Sometimes my entire centerpiece would fit on a quarter - I just put them in the kitchen window to look at.

  Thank you so much, Lori. Some of the wildflowers I shoot are so tiny - I need to come up with some way to show perspective - like putting a dime in a second shot so folks could see how little they really are.

  Thought I would never get to the bottom of this thread :) Great job, Marsha. Congrats.

Btw, I'm hoping to get a chance to come your way one of the next two weekends. Maybe Sunday or Monday next week (Memorial Day weekend) or perhaps the following Sunday, the 5th. We could go to the gardens in Beaumont....are you available any of these days? Let me know.
