I Heart Macro ~ Blogtoberfest Day 23



I didn't get to get out with the camera this week so I pulled up this photo from a couple of months ago and played around with it in Picnik.  This is with the HDR-ish effect.


This is the original before playing with the effects.  This is pretty but the first one is just kind of cool with the details.

I'm joining Studio Waterstone for I Heart Macro.
Go on over and see the incredible macro and close up photos!

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Both are great, but the one you edited is so vivid! It looks like the stem is vining out.

Gorgeous! I am simply going to HAVE to upgrade my camera. I was strugling with some closeups for my Etsy tonight and even with the macro setting I could not get them as crisp as I wanted. My poor little Nikon point and shoot has it's limitations...

I love it, didn't even know one could do that in Picnik. Guess I need to play around with it more.
