I loved the rain drops on the leaves they cut out.
I am a newcomer, but I'd vote for the larger photo you started with. Just unadorned flower buds are trite, in my view. |

Everyone seems to be taking macro photos against a black background. Can you all suggest what I should get if I want to use one sometime?
Thanks,

I think this is absolutely lovely, and very artistic. I think the composition is perfect! |

My comments are those of a novice, but I agree the composition is off. It just isn't positioned in the best place to be aesthetically appealing. Also, the pomegranate seeds seem out of focus to me. However, I love the shiny silver forks against the black background and the choice of red as the color for the object (food) on the forks. |

The u shape is not the edge -- it is the several inches of the plant before the portion that cracked and bent (the lower portion). The crack is about 2/3 of the way down a ten foot long leaf that is mostly 3-6 inches wide. So the width of the area in the photo is about 4 inches of a bent, cracked 6 inch wide leaf. The length of the shot is about 3 inches.
I intentionally shot this so that what it was would be unrecognizable. That is what interested me. I'm interested in close-ups of mainly natural things that make an artistic, aesthetic shot without being recognizable. My ultimate goal with shots like this is to work them up in LR and have a photo which, when hung on a wall, looks like an abstract work of art. Maybe I should be in Fine Arts rather than Macro? |

Stuart - I think this is really interesting, and gives me ideas about future shots I might do. I love the parabolic light, the shadows, and the interesting, suggestively dangerous feeling of the metal. I think I can see very slight suggestions of yellow in this around the outer edges of the parabola, fyi. Great job!
P.S. - is it really an egg beater or is it one of those things you use to strain drinks mixed with ice as you pour them into the glass? |

I am just a beginner and a newcomer to the group, but I think this was a fairly uninteresting photo to start with and that you turned into something truly lovely! Good cropping; the black background a great addition; and the rotation just perfect! I hope to learn to do as much in Lightroom, but I'm just getting started.

Thanks again. I do shoot in raw and then edit in Lightroom Classic. But to post we have to send out in jpeg with a minimal size, right?
But I start with the big file format. And I so admire what you did both in set up and in in Photoshop (which I will get to someday, I hope)! |

Well thank you for introducing me to a new approach to photography. I had to look it up to find out what it was. Very interesting approach! My big question -- where was the camera stationed, and how? |

Lovely -- and I agree with Judith about the fact landscape can be (and has been many times) fine art! I like the vignetting, too. I've never tried it yet, but I will soon! |

This is gorgeous! I hope to learn how to do something like this some day! |

Gorgeous shot! I see the face and can see why you call it "trapped"! I love it. My only comment is it seems maybe a little out of focus -- maybe some resolution lost in posting within our confines? |
