Not sure about this one.....

 

 

I spotted these tiny plants on a wall being backlit from the sun and thought 'Hmmmm...there's a shot there' but now I'm not so sure.

Thought I'd post it here as I do like it but at the same time I'm not happy with it.

Personally I quite like it. The plants are nicely illuminated and stand out well against the darker backdrop.

i like the lighting and that vibrant green.  you're definitely on the right track there.

 

there is a slight red outline around some of the green shoots.  i can't tell if there was really a red tinge to the plant or if it's chromatic aberration.  also it seems to split evenly across the center of the screen.  i kinda wish there was a slightly lower (or higher) placement of the back lit plants to get them out of the center.  

 

overall i like this one a lot.

Love it my favourite kind of shot (backlighting) and those are moss spores and yes cuilin they do have a red edge around the spore pods.

I think I'd have liked them higher?

I like this one very much.

Lower - Higher - Middle - ?

 

Still can't decide.

This is a heavy crop as I couldn't get closer and only had a 50mm with me so I did play with the positioning and the middle seemed about right. Lower and you get too much blank background and higher introduces more out of focus plants and brick detail which starts to distract.

If I could have been bothered and had taken another lens or two or three or four I would have cropped in much tighter - a shot for another day.

The lens in question has a cyan/green fringing but I have Lightroom set to correct it on import so unless I use it absolutely wide open it very rarely shows up on an image.
