Macro: Barbed wire snags

For Sally D’s Mobile Photography Challenge: Macro  This week, Sally has an interesting treatment for a Gerber Daisy – you would hardly believe they are the same image.

My close-up images were taken with the Nokia Lumia 520 Windows Phone, on auto.  The featured image (above or at the side depending on your device) was colour adjusted and sharpened in IrfinView before being scaled in GIMP.

The next one seems boring in comparison … maybe I have been fiddling with the settings and I only thought it was on auto…

And here is the same one with the white balance auto adjusted in GIMP…

as above but white balance changed

This last image is as is, only cropped and sharpened…

None?

Sally D’s Mobile Photography Challenge: Macro (Phalaenoides glycinae)

I’ve photographed this pretty Aussie Grapevine Moth (Phalaenoides glycinae) last year, but not managed to so far in 2016 – until today. However, this one was very subdued and jumped on to my hand when I reached for a grape. Sort of puts one off eating the grapes just thinking that one of these moths may have pumped eggs in already!  I did see a tiny caterpillar a few days ago.

I’m tagging these  for Sally D’s Mobile Photography Challenge: Macro.
