Leaf Vein
“Nature will bear the closest inspection. She invites us to lay our eye level with her smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain.”

    Thank you, darlings!

    Marvelous vision, New End!

    jp - I have a Nikon Coolpix S630. It has a 7x optical zoom, but this is actually cropped from a much larger photograph of the entire shrub.

    It almost seems alien with the intensity of color and the close up on the texture.

    What a beautiful photo! I love taking photos that are less than traditional. I love the look with the sunlight overexposing the leaf. Excellent!

Madison Street Beauty has dozens of magnificent eye shadow colors that could enhance the sexy siren in any creature.
