Great macro :) I love the way the light makes the grass kinda glow.The one in the background has enough definition to pull my eye a tiny bit, probably not enough to be a big deal. But it might be worth toning down the darker parts of that one. #1533374

Well that's pretty cool! I love the sharpness and detail of this photo. #10742020Jeff E Jensen June 22, 2013
Thanks, ladies!Teresa - I have a couple of different versions of this, where there is either more, or less detail in the background. I found that any less than this and there wasn't a lot of context to the image. #10742337

I like the simplicity. You can tell where the plant gets its name from this photo too. The detail and color are wonderful. I would not change a thing. #10742835Jeff E Jensen June 23, 2013
