Nature's Networking

Taken in my home today evening. Comments and ratings welcome.

Thanks for your time!

This is an incredibly clear and beautiful macro shot, Apurva. You've really brought this flower to life. I can see every 'network' in this leaf and it looks absolutely beautiful. Great job on the details and lighting. The stem separates the focused and unfocused elements in the shot and creates a fantastic shadow that acts as a frame and mini-vignette in the picture, helping to direct and anchor the eye. My only slight quibble is that the top right is cast in some kind of shadow and that distracts from the incredible patterns in the rest of the leaf, perhaps that can be fixed with a crop or a bit of photoshop work?

Regardless, this shot is excellent. An easy 6/7, perhaps a 7/7 if the top right disturbance was fixed. Keep up the great work!

All the best,

Stan.

Best regards Apurva!

Stan,

Thanks for your review. I tried to tinker with the top right corner in Photoshop but -may be due to my inept photoshop skills- ended up doing more damage. So I left it as it was. I welcome some suggestion from you regrading that corner in form of some photoshop tip.

Apurva,Which leaf it is? Beautiful detailing, Successful effort. Keep it up. Reg. Joydip

Simple but beautiful, exquisite detail and I think the shadow running diagonally was also a very good choice.  It's almost as if it's below a water line, being out of the focal plane as well.  Excellent job!

Really beautiful work with very nice details and lighting, Apurva!

With best regards,

Ruud.
