Challenge: Macro Without Bugs or Flowers (Basic Editing I)
Camera: Fujifilm FinePix S7000
Location: Kamloops, B.C.
Date: Nov 4, 2004
Aperture: f2.8
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/60 sec
Date Uploaded: Nov 4, 2004

 A macro/close-up of a pocket on my cargo pants. Pretty simple. I like how it looks like a "muppet" (actually, it looks more like a Sifl and Ollie thing, but Muppets and Macro are alliterate, so make for a better title).

Post-Processing: Crop, Resize, USM, and Hue shift from brown to the blue/green you see to give it a more "muppet"-like look.

Hehe, I think this is wonderful! If I'd been around at this challenge, I definatly would've scored it higher. It's very clever and fun! VERY good!

Huh.. I thought I had a real winner here, but my camera's technical limitations are definitely showing.

Eugene - I USM'd this piece to death.. :) As for getting a better DOF, it's just not possible with my cam. Oh well, what can you do eh?

I dunno if many people actually *got* this one, or spent long enough looking at it. Some of you did though, so that's good :) More 3s on this photo than I've had in a long time.. confusing.

Oh well, I just have to keep trying. I may bitch about my scores and stuff, but as long as I keep submitting stuff *I* like, instead of stuff I think everyone *else* will like, I'll just have to eventually learn to like scores like this :)

Can I say like any more than that!?

I like the shot but think there is too much empty space at the bottom.
