My First Shot @ Macro

[RBrogen]

Well I got my Kenko tubes in and am having a blast. I ran out this morning and took a few photographs of just about any and everything I thought might be interesting. This photo is of a very small bud on a plant next to my driveway. Just looking at it normally it seems a bland brown color and to my amazement when I put the picture up on my 61" plasma...HOLY MACRO is right...I love the colors. So in my photo frenzy I zoomed in on my son's face and got a few pics there and decided to combine them for this. I'm not happy with the transition from the eye to the bud but I'm working on a better one and will hopefully find one I like.
C&C welcome!

Hi there RBrogen, welcome to the Macro Forum.
Wow that's quite a picture, I like the way you've blended this image......... at first I didnt pay much attention to the back ground,
then I noticed the eye lashes :D

Very nicely done :clap thanks for sharing, hope to see more of your work, keep posting ....and enjoy :thumb ...... Skippy :D

I think it's lovely the way it is. I really like the creativeness of your son's eye in the composite.

Peace, gail

it's a good shot and concept,but for me I would darken it down a bit
