Sometimes plain photos come alive with a little art added.

You have the "touch" as well as the "eye" - these are gorgeous!

I love doing "artsy" photos, especially feathers and leaves. I like the first one best. The feather is beautiful, but the black places in the photo are kind of distracting. What are they? What camera and lens did you use?

I use a Canon T3i; Canon 60mm efs lens; the surface is tile-the table on my back porch. I also changed it to b/w. The light/dark background is the sun/shadow deal. I like it, but I guess some could find it distracting. I'll do a full black and see how it looks. Thanks for the comment!

Thanks, Bob! I probably should have put the originals in the PP section.

Very pretty, Amy, and it looks like maybe you applied a subtle texture?

Yes, I upgraded the backgrounds of two and three.

Now that's what I'm interested with regards to doing macro photography. Thanks for sharing.

A true "earth traveler" would probably love MACRO photography. It's the essence of life. When you see the beautiful sparkle of pollen on a bees leg and the transparency of a butterflies wing at 1:1. you will be hooked and you will never kill another bug. ]
I recommend the 105mm lens for this and, also, taking a look at the Macro section of UHH here. There are some experts at this kind of photography and you will learn a lot from them.

Thank you for your comments. I've traveled so much that I feel at home almost anywhere. I'm temporarily residing in Tampa, FL getting ready for my next sojourn.
As for the Nikkor 105 mm macro lens, it is on my list for acquiring although the 100 mm Tamron runs a close second. Those lens along with a 360 degree moving rail is forcing me to consider going back to work to boost up my income (lol). Anybody know of a job requiring international traveling?
As for not killing bugs, there are three exceptions flies, mosquitoes and roaches (lol). Flies maybe necessary for aiding in decomposition but the other two insects have to go.
Besides I'm not into photographing bugs. I prefer foliage.
The essence of life as we know it are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and H20 (water).
