Turning Green

Uploaded: November 08, 2006

Description

Shot: Raw, Tripod, 30 second exposure, low light, no flash, in-camera zoom, macro +10 filter. This is indeed a green flower... I believe a mum?

Titled such because if you stare long enough it may give you motion sickness! While working on it I had to look away often. Is that normal?? :o)

My first attempt at in-camera tricks. It was enhanced using PS7.

Astonishing in capture and work! I looked at it for a while and I think I can relate to what you were saying...it has some motion to it!! :o)
Beautiful green color and details captured. Wonderful as you used no flash, and I love how the lighter colors are accenting the outer edges, nice deeper hues of green in the center....wonderful!!!!!! Hope to see it again in the winners circle!!!! Well done!! #3563302
