Nikon D300 w/Nikkor 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 vr lens @ 150mm, tripod mounted
Indoors but natural light
ISO Equiv. 400
MM -0.67
PP: PS CS5 levels and curves; Viveza 2 to adjust some greying patches, to match the surrounding vegetation; modest cropping
Serendipity is defined as the occurrence of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way. Earlier this past fall I made what I think is a serendipitous discovery, as I used stones and bricks to anchor plastic sheeting over our garden flowers in anticipation of a possible freeze.
One of my bricks, as you see here, was covered with its own "micro garden", and I couldn't resist photographing it for this forum.
While there are some light circles and other marks on the brick in addition to the vegetation, I chose not to clone them out because I think they add character to the image.
What are your impressions of this image?
