Artist Challenge Attempt 3

Oh this was just so hard. Still don't like my edit, but I do like how precise the focus is on the subject. For more on what I was doing, see here: https://365project.org/darylo/album4/2021-01-16

Absolutely amazing detail!

nice, can we see this in sepia?

[Daryl O'Hare]

@kali66 it looks awful in sepia. So no. :)

[Marnie]

Looks like a very difficult subject to me Daryl.

[kali]

haha

[Jane Pittenger]

Vey cool but don’t particularly like the background

[Daryl O'Hare]

@jgpittenger me neither. I may replace it with another.

[Jane Pittenger]

@darylo good idea

[Daryl O'Hare]

@kali66 @jgpittenger I changed the photo to another one I took yesterday. Whew, this stuff is hard.

surprisingly hard to do well, detail but minimal at the same time. perhaps your subject needs to be at the scale where the macro-clip can fill the frame with it.

i actually really liked the form of the budding twig, it really suited the challenge, perhaps it just needed a plain background to really set it off

[Daryl O'Hare]

@kali66 Macro clip is really difficult to work with on this--and time, yada yada yada. I liked the budding twig too, but the background was killing it. Was fun to try at least! I really admire his work--so detailed and beautiful!
