Some fun with weed and mushrooms...

[Kerbouchard]

Okay, so maybe weeds and lichens...

Just messing around in the backyard trying to pay attention to things I normally just look right on past.

C&C welcome and appreciated.

Your title is misleading ... I thought there would be some psychodelic images here.

I really like the composition in the first two.
The next two ... eh, not so great.

Weird, the lichen was my favorite. Probably because of how hard I worked on getting the shot. Probably not the right reason.Thanks for the feedback.

I have to say. I like the lichen as well. It's a bit abstract and the colour and lighting gives a nice mood.

I really dig the poppy pod (or whatever it is). The purple flower also has a lushness that I find appealing. Both of those pictures have a luxurious,deep,rich, "lush" color feeling that is really,really enjoyable, and not often seen in close-up type photos.

That second one is really cool. I feel like it's going to open up and eat me. LOL

Damn...just noticed the spot of dust on the sensor...I'll have to fix that tonight.

I've taken a lichen to photo number 2.

Thanks...I think.

I really dig the poppy pod (or whatever it is).

Agreed! The composition is awesome and it works really well with the DOF! Good work

Lovely shots.

Thanks for all the feedback. Nice to see a thread on TPF that doesn't have all the bickering.

In case anybody was wondering, here is what #2 opened up to...

 

[Kerbouchard]

Just a quick update, I have #2 hanging in my office and on Friday, somebody asked how I got the fold lines smoothed out after taking it out of a magazine.

It was pretty neat to tell him it was a shot I took in my backyard.
