*** Mini-Challenge #158 : Close Up ***

[kenn threed]

Thanks Candice and Dr.Tom, for your encouragement.

I love the birds and flowers and have been very pleased shooting them with the S3. I hope to get a dSLR somewhen to try for better photos. I only want to see them in every detail.

The choice of black and white and very limited DOF really make the tiny hands in the foreground stand out.

Beautiful shot.

You win- hands down!

Sorry, couldn't resist. LOL

I'm titling this one: "Fully Loaded Takeoff"...



Taken with a Canon A710IS with the built-in macro, post-processed in Photoshop (V6) to adjust curves and locally increase the contrast of the bee.

I enjoy shooting the flowers ....
Glad you liked them

Thank you for the kind words.

My daughter was one week old at this point...it's amazing how small she was.

I don't know about winning...but nice play on the words.

Logic is superior to emotion

Emotion is much more fun!

Watch out for the exposure police.
They will tell you that its wrong even
though they weren't there to witness it.

I removed the frame to bring it down to 800 pixels wide and Flickr reassigned the URL for the shot. ":^)
