Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted February 6, 20121,060 views9 comments

i usually hang out elsewhere in NPN but some macro work on this forum recently caught my eye and i thought that this image would sit well within the company on this forum. the stars here caught my eye but the more i look at it, it is some of the other details that also linger - the leaf, the lichen on the rocks, that tiny plant at the top of the image and slightly to the left ...

thanks for looking; let me know what you think.

Stuart, I love the title which brings the imagery of the starry sky to the ground cover. I like the B&W processing which also works well with the star like plants. Even the thumb nail was interesting. Fun image to just sit and stare at. Thank you for sharing this here.

Stuart:
Love this image. Really fabulous. The B&W makes this even more like stars in the night sky.

It does remind me of a star field. Great sense of depth. Neat shot.
