Challenge: Something New III (Advanced Editing IV*)
Camera: Canon EOS-350D Rebel XT
Lens: Tamron AF 70-210mm f/2.8 LD for Canon EOS
Location: New Mexico
Date: Apr 13, 2006
Aperture: 8.0
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/1000
Galleries: Macro
Date Uploaded: Apr 18, 2006

 Trying shots of bugs with the 70-210, also my first submission with this lens. The DOF you get close up at the long end is extremely shallow, even stopped down a little.
Processing: Crop, contrast masking, curves/levels, hue/sat, dodged the darker parts of the leaves a little, sharpened.

I've seen a lot of plants and trees... Yes, they meet the challenge, but where is the creativity... It's the image that stands out from the rest that wins me over.
