fraternising with a Japanese anemone

I took my camera for a walk around the garden.

I see my yesterday's sunflower is on PP so many thanks for all your views, comments and favs on that. ( I confess to having only a partial understanding of the mechanisms of PP but nice to have a photo on there now and again.)

[Darlene]

What an amazing shot, Hazel. I love all the detail you were able to capture. Such a clear macro photo. I have to learn how to do this. Been studying on youtube but nothing really helps. Maybe my manual that came with my camera will. I have never seen a photo so clear as this one is. FAV

@darsphotos

Sometimes I also do a really tiny bit of HDR processing on Picasa 3 - but really tiny otherwise it looks OTT.

[Darlene]

@quietpurplehaze I used a bit of brightness on my rabbit but that was it. Interesting that you use some HDR processing as I cannot tell. What is OTT and do you have settings you use to get such a great macro shot?
