Twisted Vine on a plant I photgraphed at my Pa's Farm
Micro Nikkor 105mm : F 3.8 / 1/160th sec Hand Held.

Tweaked a bit in PSCS : Cropped, Levels, Contrast, Saturation. ( No Inversion )
I took a pill.

Something a little different I thought from the norm plant shots

Mic. :wink:

Thanks Liam, :wink:

I've had the shot for a while, only just now I tweaked it and it came to life for me.
Just shows you can always do something with an image, well most of the time.

Cheers,

Mic. :wink:

Me like a lot except I think you might have overdone it on the contrast, it's a bit too sharp for my liking.

Thanks Wayne,

Yeah, I did that to bring out the flakey, dryness of it.

Like peeling skin.

Mic. :wink:

It's great because it looks like a piece of rope but somehow alive - the redness under the surface texture... reminicent of Dr. Who episodes!

Cool abstract macro, Mic. :D My only critique would be the shallow DOF. :?

Love it Mic, well spotted love the seperation and the shallow DOF. Laughing how two people have opposite opinions. Kerry, whose work I like, dislikes the shallow DOF, I feel it makes it. Go figure.

I think it would make a great photo to make people think if shot without the shoot coming out. As Justin says at first glance it looks like rope, then reveals its true nature

Cheers,

Mic.
