Challenge: Rule of Thirds III (Basic Editing)
Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: Tamron SP AF 90mm f/2.8 Di for Nikon
Location: Lowry Park Zoo, Tampa, Florida
Date: Apr 22, 2007
Aperture: 5
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/90
Galleries: Macro, Floral
Date Uploaded: Apr 23, 2007

 Macro photo of the developing frond. Probably 2:1 magnification. I noticed how the shape in the coiled fern looked like eyes and were looking at me, so I cropped on the Thirds to accentuate them, but did absolutely no retouching, spotting, cloning etc. WYSIWYG. I only used Levels,saturation,contrast, USM,crop, frame,resize.

I wish that blurry top part wasn´t included, it just draws too much attention IMHO, rest of the shot is very good, good DOF and clarity.

The fibers around the edges seem to draw to much of my attention from the main subject.

Cheers,
