Thought you might like these.....taken 2 days ago by the stream where I was having my crisis. :~) It's the old skunk cabbage revisited....no longer a funky looking flower but a big green leafy plant unfurling itself. Got inside the uncurling leaves.... Not to happy with the dof on this one...but I liked the softness of it.

Lowly little skunk sure is beautiful if looked at in a different way!

I couldn't resist. [Bad Misha, Bad!]. Took Michelle's picture and made something silly. The lines lead me to it.

LOL! Misha that's so cool ; D These are great Michelle, I love that intense green light filtering through the leaves.

lol - funny, Misha, that's the way I saw it too!! lol Nice pics, 'Chelle, thanks (",)

Hehe Misha....that's good.....looks sort of like a reptile/snake which is what I saw when I was looking at it too...

knock-out green... the dof is so extreme, but it makes it fairly abstract. like that. btw: the tomato-tif (...) if u still like - send it to office@graphh.net... was a bit (and still am) busy, so...

for me!!! you should'nt of!! heehee what softness and light you captured!! i think my favorite is the second one and i absolutely love what Misha did!! the image has another look totally to it. i would of never guessed that it was that marsh plant you found... and they say macros are a tired genre?? :P

These are amazing Michelle, wonderful colour and geometry in these shots...I thought your manipulation was quite clever too Misha! :-)>

Late to join, but these are striking for their green and for their abstractions... ...Esp. the first one is beautiful..! I sounded like t3, but it's OK... :)
