    Default Glowing Tulip Leaf.

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    Walking around the front yard garden checking out the sprouting vegetation I noticed that the sun was shining through the leaves in a most appealing way. What we are looking at here is straight down a three inch tall spiraling tulip leaf with the sunrays seeping through the leaf wall creating a neat glowing mood to it.

    Canon 7D + 100mm f2.8 macro, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/250s., f/4.5, ISO 800, natural light, handheld, FF, NR applied to the image.

    Hi Daniel
    Certainly an eye grabber !! Have to say though I reckon its more of an "arty" shot than a macro. Not that there's. much interest in the macro area at the moment.

    I like the pattern and the colours, the soft edges are appealing.

    Daniel:

    Colors are great, the spiral and lighting works well. I wish there was more sharpness in the center of the spiral to act as a visual destination for the image.

    Cheers

    yes, does look at first as if it belongs in OOTB forum. But there is not a lot of post production, just mostly pure photo...nice catch. Maybe a bit of sharpness in the center would help, but a nice catch of the color.

    Hi Daniel. This is a very cool abstract shot with very interesting lighting! There is just enough sharpness in the spiral to catch my eye - and lead it into the center of the flower. Nicely seen and captured!

    Superb capture Daniel and I love your processing here, very subtle. Your image makes me realise how difficult it is to imitate nature, the colour green here is amazing in all those shades!

    You have an eye for beauty - I might have told you this before but once again, such a pleasant surprise to see something different and so special from you, this time in Macro-thank you!

    Warmest regards,
    Gabriela Plesea

    Excellent Daniel ,

    Love the soft quality of light and the muted green colors. Composition and leading spirals draw me in

    Regards
    Saurabh
