Challenge: Puzzle Macro (Basic Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-400D Rebel XTi
Lens: Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro

Date: Jun 17, 2007
Aperture: 32
ISO: 100
Shutter: 0.5

 Garden of monarda plants behind the Todd House. For what it's worth, the effect was achieved by being close to the plants and swinging the camera side to side with a small aperture and slow shutter speed.

It is a macro.

It seems that the world is slowly accepting Oob, or at least DPC is more open minded about it. This is one of my favorite photos by you. I love the color and flow. Added to favorites.

Very nice!! You've created something completely different than what the normal eye would see - the result is very pleasing.

So delicate -- I really like it! The colors made this photo for me. Cannot wait to find out what it is.

Aw, did you tell us what it was in your title? That's what it looks like, a water fountain with colourful lights. If that's not what it is then I think you have us all fooled. Hmmmm, come to think of it, it looks like you moved your camera during exposure and made those arcs, so it's probably not a water fountain after all. Its a cool abstract.

On most of the other photos I can give a pretty good guess, but this one... other than maybe the drugs you were taking prior to releasing the shutter release... I am totally clueless!!

The deliniation of color is right on and although I am sure if it is or not... it appears to be clear and in great focus.

Good job!!! Can't wait till voting is over to see what in 'heck' this is a shot of!!!

I was going to say fountain and then noticed 1. you titled it fountain and 2. that wouldn't be a macro. So now I have no idea. I like the colours and the crop.

Rather pretty effect, and my only guess would be some fiber optic gizmo that you waved around. Really like the result.

Not sure if this is a macro or not but as a photo regardless of the challenge it is quite nice
