Challenge: Indoor Macro Shot (Classic Editing)
Camera: Sigma SD9
Location: My home in the U.K.
Date: Mar 26, 2003
Aperture: 5.6
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/125
Galleries: Nature, Macro
Date Uploaded: Mar 26, 2003

 Photographed on a windowsill, which explains the darkness of the left hand side. I used a close-up lens because I haven't got a macro. I set the camera to 400ASA to add some grain. I added some blur and a little colour saturation.

Thanks Sonja. The scores are getting a bit better. Having a go is what it is all about I think.

This is a good effort. I think the focus is a little too soft for my taste.

Good color - the little blue gray on the right is a good touch. Soft rose photos are some of my favorites, but this one is a little too soft - it is loosing definition.

Awsome. Just the right blend of subtle color, texture , softness and light. I could see this one someone's wall.

Too hazy for me. I like soft, but this one exceeds that by quite a bit. The photo size is not really helping matters either

beautiful soft, dreamy image. Maybe too cropped? but definitely a matter of taste so not a big criticism. Lighting is very nicely done here, too.

Nice soft focus and pretty pink. I believe more detail is needed for a true macro, but I do love your photo.

beautiful job with the softness and blur in this shot... The only improvement I think you could make would be to have a larger image... excellent work :) - setzler

I think you've gone too far on the soft-focus thing. Diffusion, whatever it is. Would have been a top shot otherwise.
