Description Love searching the house for objects and things to have a macro session with.
i Placed this Dead Plant/flower on top of a lamp for a nice soft light.

Taken hand held with 100mm lens.

Tried a FredMiranda Plug-in for Resizing for web, it gave some grain, but it kept the sharpness of the image.
i will use regular bicubic next time though, to avoid sharpness in the wrong places.

Color and contrast adjustments in the post-processing.

welcome to download for wallpaper, but not for re-use.

Thats it, any questions, just ask

P0RG [2008-04-30 10:00:27 +0000 UTC]

wonderful complementary colours! I should really learn to sharpen more precisely. I always end up with grain that I can only see when I upload it. It gets irritating

Nice one!

Sortvind In reply to P0RG [2008-04-30 11:55:14 +0000 UTC]

Thank you i usually hate grain, so i remove it all. If you don`t have a good noise remover you can use the Lensblur in photoshop selective to get it away. Same goes with Smartsharpen/unsharpen, always apply it using a layer mask, you don't want to sharpen a background or a out of focus area, just those in focus.
