Challenge: School Days: Biology (Basic Editing)
Camera: Fujifilm FinePix S5100

Aperture: 4.0
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/50
Date Uploaded: Feb 13, 2007

 This is actually a green leaf in front of a white piece of paper which is taped to a desk lamp. I thought the green was too boring tho. So I played a lot with curves - hope I did not do anything illegal with basic editing.

Crop
resize
curves
HSL
contrast? (cannot remember)
sharpen

No idea how this will do but I was very happy with being able to get the background to look yellowish so as to represent the energy from the sun.

*****After challenge - I like how people presumed that I did not know what photosynthesis was lol. (Which is ok since I TITLED it that way.) I wonder if I had titled it : Photosynthesis - The AFTERMATH .... hmmm *****

Good color, but the upper-right corner is distracting because it is so bright.

Should have been green. Dry fall leaves are no loger capable of photosynthesis.
