after the rain
Posted by Kylie Greenan (Hunters Hill, Australia) on 6 November 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
Next Challenge... "MY Special Place" TOMORROW :0). Maybe it is the place you live, a room you love, a place you go... somewhere you love to be, a place that is "your space" that means something to you. (No toilets please :o)
Please also let me know any ideas you might have for future challenge topics.
"Mon endroit préféré" le vendredi 7 novembre
Cela peut être l'endroit où vous vivez, une pièce que vous aimez,un endroit où vous allez ,quelque part où vous aimez être...un endroit qui est "votre endroit" ,qui signifie quelque chose pour vous ".
Thank you Marie-Hélène for the help with the translation :o)

A simply fabulous macro image, Kylie! Love the shades of green, selective focus and -- of course --the droplets! There are two kinds of photographers: those who can do wonderful, creative macros... and those who can't. I admire what you've done here very much, because I find myself in the latter category!

@Andrew Gould: Thank you Andrew for your lovely comment, very much appreciated!

Delightful composition, here, Kylie ... the muted color palette is perfect and I also find that I'm drawn into the photo through the interplay of light and shadow.

Kylie, this is just exquisite! There is a certain glow, a certain atmosphere coming from this frame. It makes one welcome the rain and the magic that happens just after. Bravo!

I love these kind of shots Kylie. Wonderful macro work and I really love the darkness of the leave. It looks like you captured this shot on a real gloomy, rainy day. Something like what we are having here right now.

I've said it before, but I'll say it again....the way droplets of water look like circles in an image never ceases to amaze me. This is beautiful.
