Congrats on your first ribbon! I have had this happen a couple of times where a dq has happened and I have moved up to ribbon territory. Well done. It always worries me when a first time entry wins a ribbon as you know that perhaps they don't understand the rules...Congrats again
wow!!!my first ribon...THX all.
never expected this would do so much score.
actually, AS I mentioned before, this came out after 4 hours of testing many objects in big bowl of water and milk.
the first tests came out very blure, and then I noticed that in 30 sec exposure, I need to hold my leaf steady...so I have puted a small wine glass under it, waited 1 min for the milk waves to stop down and took the shot.
special THX to IrineM.(taking a look at here gallery makes me think more creative...).
I still dont know how I moved up from 4th place, was he discqualified?
wow, thx everyone!
this is my highest score ever...guess i was too bored that night...
actaullay, I tried to take a photo of another leaf, when suddenly i noticed this one on the my back yard floor.
(its a grapevine leaf.)
Overexposure enhances this nicely. Enjoy seeing color detail in this. Wish the bit of leaf around 4 oclock did not have to be turned upward. High score from me nevertheless.
