One is just an unusual piece of foliage and two are in my favorite bugs eye view.   Canon EOS REBEL T3i    55 mm    f/18.0    1/60 sec    400 ISO    0.0 EV   Sep 17, 2012 at 06:07 PM

Feels a bit painfully detailed. What about adding a bit of blur to the straw in the background? 2. I really like this one too. It feels like an intimate, almost internal viewing. Reminds me of an underwater scene. Maybe a bit of edge sharpening? 3. Very nice. Looks a bit soft and I wish you had more DOF, but you cant have everything! The colors and content are interesting and the framing is nice. I would spend a bit more time in post. Consider some vignette as well as sharpening. Scott Sep 17, 2012 at 11:00 PM

I like the lines here too. Could be a bit sharper. 3. Are we looking at a crop here? Seems a bit soft. Nice job with the framing and colors. - Paul Sep 18, 2012 at 01:03 AM

Camperjim Offline • • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #5 · Bodega Bay Botanicals Thanks for the comments. I recently posted some Bodega Bay fog images and did some oversharpening so I intentionally backed off on the sharpening for the 2nd and 3rd images. These had minimal processing and I think the next step would be some selective sharpening and unsharp mask at 20,50. There is also a tedious but effective method for sharpening this sort of image. A fine tip burn brush set to shadows and about 15% works well and is very simple but slow. The first image was processed using a heavy dose of Topaz. I rarely process any images with this intensity but I liked the effect. I also burned in the shadows behind the straw to make the straw pop even more. I considered cloning out the straw in the upper right but decided I liked it as is. Sep 18, 2012 at 01:38 AM
