Again bullseye! You managed to fool me with your modesty, turns out you're top notch at this. Posted 4 years ago

  Thanks!
  
  Or, not exactly top-notch...This photo is heavily processed. Well, maybe not 'heavily', but I adjusted the light in photoshop because it looked bad initially. Afterwards, I couldn't decide if it looked better or worse after the processing, but went with it anyway ;P. I'll email you the original so you can gasp in horror at it. Posted 4 years ago

      Ha, well maybe. I'm just not usually much of a photo editor and thus feel like I'm doing something sneaky when I do more than just lightly edit. Posted 4 years ago

        I normally agree with that and follow the same mindset, but consider this type of photography the exception. Exposure changes, fixing damage, artifacts, etc are normal if not inevitable. Posted 4 years ago

        Hmm, true. Indoor macro is so different from outdoor macro. Posted 4 years ago
