Oooo, nature never ceases to amaze. Brilliant capture, I do like photographs that have the main subject off centre (don't know why, just a personal taste). Congratulations of a wonderful piece

Thank you
Me too. When it's centered then like something's missing around it (in flower photography, for people it works great).

This is beautiful. I love all kinds of ferns and natural spirals, they are so delicate.

This is a great picture to be captured with a point and shoot! Sometimes I underestimate those cameras...
I love all the greens in this picture. It makes it seem as if it was taken in the jungle. Excellent picture!

Well, you know what they say, it's not about the camera, it's about you ^^
If you're persistent to focus that little vine, the camera will do so at some point xD But often it just focuses the first huge thing they see BEHIND the vine xD

Beautiful shot! I love the green and yellow in the shot, and the focus on the vine makes for a great composition.

This has two of my favorite things, Macro, and Spirals . Instant fav.

Micro-Ciritique requested:

I wonder what it would look like with the colors tampered a bit, to make the plant a little more defined and important. It has some brown/yellow that could be resalted with some color curving. As it is, the green hue covers everything. But then again, its just an "I wonder". I donΒ΄t think it looks bad at all, specially taking into account that there is already shadows behind the plant to contrast it.

Other than that, was focusing the first small spiral instead of the one at the bottom intentional? Did you try focusing them both?

I like the Handwritten font with your name

LyDeea In reply to Oddgoo [2009-10-19 21:12:25 +0000 UTC]

Well, I could try tampering, but I don't know what to look for, as the green spiral could only look more intense if the background would be darkened to blackness, or dark, dark green colors.
I could try

I tried focusing them both, of course, but as the only cameras I have access to are point-and-shoot cameras this was probably the best macro try I could dig up from a camera of that caliber.
Although, I have an astounding image of a grasshopper of some sort, which is really beautiful (not posted yet however), with this plant such a macro didn't work. So the focus was coincidental, just to get a proper focus, take more photos, and see which one looks better.

And thank you, I searched for a good font in weeks, and I'm still not happy

Or the cheaterΒ΄s way:

Merge both pictures with photoshop so both are focused .

I guess you looked at dafont.com for fonts?


And itΒ΄s my pleasure

LyDeea In reply to Oddgoo [2009-10-20 09:51:24 +0000 UTC]

Well, you could do that, but that isn't true photography anymore.

Yes, I did. That's where I found this one. I have several fonts I like, but this one was kinda the best. There was one... ah, it was beautiful. But I didn't like the way it spelled "L".

Oddgoo In reply to LyDeea [2009-10-20 10:19:02 +0000 UTC]

Yes, thatΒ΄s why i said the cheaters way , it beats the point of photograph.

Im looking forward to your next shots, I have a lot to learn from them
