We are getting a lot of overcast and rainy days which means low light photography. I was shooting some 400 ISO stuff and was pleased with this (although I was not paying enough attention to framing). Enjoy. 60mm MACRO, 1/60 sec, f10, 400 ISO

Good shot. Nice exposure and focus. Some thing I should say about the composition though. Since non of the leafs are completely captured there is some thing missing in the shot. I feel like its not completed.

Yup..I know about the framing issues .. sorry .. my only excuse is that was actually just a shot for high ISO detail testing but it looked so cool I ran out to re-take the shot as soon as I saw it ... but it had all blown away. It just shows that you never know what will be worth keeping.. I still like the water drops.

See, the framing issue doesn't bother me at all. Actually, I find the pure quality to be enough to overcome it. I think it's beautiful. The colors, green and purple, look wonderful together. Very artistic. I like it very much.

I often dream about things that don't exist. And in those dreams, I'm often taking photographs that I plan to put on Caedes... and when I wake up... I'm disappointed because it wasn't real.

I don't know if you were paying attention or not, but this is certainly one great image! The details are amazing and the contrast of green and purple as well! Great work!

This image is perfect, imho. I've come to really like this plant this year (just bought one) - their rich colors are such a nice spice in an otherwise uniform spread of greenery. Anyway, back to the picture.. amazing!

I hold it true that thoughts are things; They're endowed with bodies, breath and wings: And that we send them forth to fill the world with good results, or ill. That which we call our secret thought speeds forth to earth's remotest spot, leaving it's blessings or it's woes like tracks behind it as it goes. We build our future, thought by thought for good or for ill, yet know it not. Yet so the universe was wrought . Thought is another name for fate. Choose then thy destiny and wait, for Love brings Love and Hate brings Hate. - Henry Van Dyke.
