These are a few images that I felt were strong. I particularly like the macro shots.
In one of the plant macros it was amazing the way the light was hitting the leaves. It is hard to get the light situation right when taking macro shots, but I think I caught the natural sun light at the right time. I think thesecond most important thing is how the photo is cropped. I guess Ive had some practice with my camera in the garden.
Also in the photo that I took of the rock with the background blured was interesting because it is an unorthadoxed apraoch. I learned this technique last semester when I did a series on graffiti art. I learned to destort the background by keeping the camera focoused on a object that takes a while to figure out what it is.
