Peace Lilly Detail
This detail of a Peace Lilly leaf was taken in my office last week. (As you can see I was hard at work!!!) Actually I was getting warmed up for Tim's workshop and dusting off my camera. I really liked the graphic lines and textures of the leaf. Sorry, I'm on a black mat kick right now.

Canon 10D, 100 mm macro, 30 sec @ f/27, ISO 100, tripod, cable release
selective color, shadow/highlight, local contrast adj, sharpen

Nice strong lines. Have you looked at this converted to B&W ?

Brent I did desaturate in Camera Raw before opening the file just to see if there was some possibilities. It didn't really jump out at me then but I may have to revisit it and see what could be done with a conversion. Thanks for the comments!

Glad to see you/re hard at work, Wayne! For me, the hilights on the plant are a little hot - maybe it's the reflective nature of the plant, but they look almost blown. Other than that, I do like the geometric design of the composition.

Thanks for posting!
