Rose Petals and Leaf

Uploaded: June 12, 2008 11:34:45

Description


Macro image of a reddish-pink rose growing in the front yard. My eye was drawn to this particular bloom, because of the effect of the sunlight on the petal colors....and the colors of the leaf behind it. I cloned and painted some of the BG--to make it ALL black--and tweaked the saturation and contrast a bit.

Exif: F Number: 8, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 10/500 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 64, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 6.00 mm, Model: DSC-H1

Thank you, Dianna! The light on the leaf caught my eye the most, and then when I saw the shot in my camera, the rose petals contrasted really nicely with it. Thanks again! :-) #6152335

Cary Rogers August 02, 2008

Well, thank you Vlad! This is one of my favorite macros, too. It looked as though the leaf was cutting though the petals. #6262079

Songbird Cline level-classic September 06, 2008

very creative! excellent! #6420888

Cary Rogers September 06, 2008

Thank you, Songbird! Some things take on a whole new quality when viewed close-up. There are so many wondrous things in Nature to distract the eye, that sometimes we forget to focus in on the smaller things. That's why I like macro photography so much. Thanks again! #6421057
