Greetings!
Excuse the lateness of starting, I didn't realise I'd been chosen until yesterday. Continuing Tanner's (and my) wish to see a macro, here we go.
After an agonising look through my photos, I chose this one. As usual for this challenge, I figured to pick something I thought had some interest and potential, but looked fairly lifeless out of the camera.
It's certainly not one of my best, but I like the scene it shows, and it has plenty of scope for processing. Not one for blue enthusiasts, but an interesting break from the landscapes of late.
Up and Atom, everyone. I'm expecting some dramatic and curious interpretations! Do what you like, but no kittens or lens flares please.
