I was hoping they'd be deeper green at this point, but alas pale green is all I got... Probably make the difference in scoring. Sigh.

It was VERY difficult to get a decent focus on this. My camera does not allow me to do manual focus AND macro mode, not even in manual mode. So I am stuck with manual focus by itself, whose control does not have good resolution, so I get it close with the control, then move the object by hand fwd or back to get in focus, checking each shot by zooming in on it in view mode of the camera. Fun!

lots of artefacting in this image - needs to be tidied using a cleaning filter (like neatimage) and/or less compression for the ubmission (in PS: "save for web" and set the settings for as near 150k as possible).

This is really neat. The sprout looks like a chick coming out of an egg - kind of a double beginning!
