Edit: Color is better if you click the photo... thumbnail is dull in color

Great picture. i would love to see it off centered to the left, so the flower is pointing to the green backdrop.

I had an interesting hike today, beating a massive thunderstorm to the peak and, after booting it back down in the lighting-laced downpour, I took numerous pictures in a garden I haven't shot for quite a while.

ps: I'm off to Seoul tomorrow, so I'm posting a bit early (12:01 am, here).

Freebooter, your recent post was so exemplary that I finally made a connection that has been eluding me. You've probably already seen it, but just in case, take a look at the David Attenborough documentary "Life in the Undergrowth" for some stunning video of insects. Your recent photos would fit perfectly in this documentary. I don't know if it is online, but the DVD extras include a lengthy interview with the photographer of the series that might be of interest as well.

Thanks so much for sharing your stunning work!

You should get a Flickr account freebooter. If added to a couple of groups, your work would most likely get loads of feedback.

From my little Canon Ixy

Have lurked on this tread for a while and just luv all the shots. I am by no means a photographer but have been lucky with a few snaps from time to time.

This is from a Kannon Temple in Kamakura, Japan.
No adjustment to the colour has been made

What kind of post processing do you do? Nice photo, btw.

Thanks a lot! No, I haven't seen that, but, oddly enough, just yesterday I was thinking about macro video...

Thanks for the suggestion. What I really want to look into is a site where I can start to market my wares. (micro-stock?)

Brightness and Saturation. Curves. Some pictures (like this one) I put a black and white image on top of the picture, and bring down the opacity to a level where I like it. I like the color it gives.

Thanks.

Anyway, I hope I can get a SLR by the end of this year. I'm looking a a Nikon D80. I think I can do a lot more with a better camera and more manual settings.

Ohh, interesting technique. I might have to try it.

The D80 is an awesome camera, I'd definitely look into it. In a year or two (assuming it hasn't been replaced) I'll probably look into upgrading to it.
