I like your second one, Straightshooter, but I think you're a bit underexposed on both of them. You may be able to "snap" them up a little in PS, or PSE, etc. Nice work, though. Keep it goin'!

Wow! Your Exif Data indicates 1/13sec. at f-11.0 and ISO 2000! Was it really that dark when you shot this? (Second Image).
I altered it a little and will post the result upon your permission.

I like the second one but like Danilo said a little under exposed the first one does not work for me because the subject is splitting the picture across the middle would have worked better IMHO if it would have went from bottom corner to the opposite upper corner.

You are correct point taken

This may or may not agree with your vision of the image.
BTW: I'm curious as to why your ISO was at 2000?

Hi Straightshooter, I like the subject but I agree with Danilo. They are both a tad under exposed and the first one has too narrow a depth of field (imho). The whole plant along its lenght is not in focus because it "bends" a little but that's enough to change it's DoF.
Not trying to be too critical, just help. :D

The first shot was taken outside however this one was taken inside on the dining room table on a Macro stand
Apartment living with windows only on one side and I did not have my ring flash yet
I like what you have done to lighten it, Thank you

I am looking into getting PS-CS6 that is my next project
By the time I am 110 I should know it all. 71 now

I like the 2nd shot, 1st shot does nothing for me, personally. I really like what Danilo did with it.

I processed just like I would one of my macro shots I like how the light is white on one side and yellow tint on the other I guess the white side is the one that was facing window.

It was that or LED lights from the kitchen on one side and throwing a shadow on the other

Here again it is the light that I did not pay any attention to that really made the differance

There probably isn't much more you can do with that second shot (which is the best one, imo) to balance out the two sides because you have the cooler white light of the window to the right side of the photo and the warmer, yellowy light from the interior light on the other side.

May I download and give it a shot?

It's a great, creative perspective and I think something can be done to salvage it... "artsy"-style.
