Swirl

Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted July 1, 2011138 views4 comments

It's been awhile since I have posted in the Macro section, so a hello again to everyone. This shot was taken a few weeks back when the leaves from a Hosta plant began to open. This in particular had a trailing double swirl that reached upward for a ways.

D7000
Zeiss 100mm
f2.5
1/3200s
Slight burning to tone down some of the highlights.
Natural Light

C&C welcome and thanks for viewing.

Great eye for the shot Morgan. Love the all the twists & turns that come right to the point

Excellent use of the short DOF, a most visually appealing/stimulating image in the book of Cheek

You have a great gallery of images BTW..
Well done & have a great 4th!

I like it too. Love the curves and your selective focus points as well as placement.
