this was taken in raw on a rainy day the drops are real not studio and the backroung is the sky.....i took it with a 50mm macro from my nikon f3 and forgot to set the WB to tungston but that is the magic of raw.
i love close up shots and macro and so i just had to put this in to the challenge.
it might not be my best over this 4week time frame but it is 1 of my favs.
anyway here is what i did-
raw-adjusted exposer and white ballence
down sized to 640@150kb or under-
that is all,
thanx for all the views, votes and comments.

I like the colours and the effect; technically it’s pretty good. Honestly though, there is just nothing in the photo that grabs you and makes you want to keep coming back I see this image as a stock picture, or even as a textured background
i like the basic idea here, but would probably like it more if the focus was even through out, or if the focus was something of a gradient dof. as is, isolating on one area of the entire frame doesn't hold my interest. just my opinion, though. good luck!
