Cropped, no other adjustments post- or in-camera. Only me, light and the camera.
Apologies to all who had voted - I had to re-upload the entry as I'd forgotten to upload the full-resolution image from the first go. Sigh. Sorry everybody.
And hope you like my photo - it took me hours, literally, to set up :)) (5 years and 2890 days ago)
Alittle blurry...
Okay, I give up - high resolution would not load, sorry everybody.
Oh well, I still find this pretty, hope you do too
Beautiful, don't know why you had trouble uploading the High Res. There is a limit to the size you can upload, about 5mg I think, you don't need to upload your images anywhere near that size, 2.5 - 3.5 mg is plenty big enough. You just have to remember to tick "Also save full resolution image."
You can still go to, My Stuff, My entries, find this entry, select edit entry and then tick 'Also save full resolution image.".
you don't need to upload the entry again.
Thank you, friiskiwi!!!
Mystery solved - that's the size it is, apparently I'd cropped it quiiiiite a bit (looking at the original photo now ).
so that's a little pretty something - if anybody is interested, I could upload the non-cropped image (and we can chat about whether the way I cropped it were a good way to go....
then brush each others hair and have tea ) )
Awesome set up and picture. Great job author.
Thank you guys - i've had some friends asking what equipment I used for this: good old canon 450 plus somewhat crappy kit lens and a led torch. Blue colour is from white balance maxed to eat all the warm colours. Hardest bit was to get the darn thing in focus - but hey, it is doable even with crappy equipment! so if you like macro - go for it even before you've invested in a macro lens!
I suggest you still tick the save full resolution, as we can get a better look at it then. it's such a great image.
hey friiskiwi - I have tried that three times, it just would not save the hi resolution.
It has worked fine with all my previous uploads in various contests, this is the first time I am having such a silly problem...
Thanks for your kind words though...
Howdie stranger!
