20090226 - TITTC Idle Hands 2

Hmmm - maybe I should've gone for the dark side... seems a stronger picture.
This is almost how I originally had the shot in my head: plant backlit with white light and my hand lit with green light from above. The exposure was a bit too tricky to balance though.

Canon EOS 5D ,Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM
1/200s f/6.3 at 67.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Photosynthesis in sympathy with your plant?

An excellent composition. I love the light.

Much better than the other day, far more green fingered rather than incredible hulk.
Well done.

I really like # 2! The DOF and just barely seeing the hand. Very nice.

I like this one better, I think because of the long leaves and fingers. Excellent

some of the chlorophyll rubbing off on your fingers??
I like this one best..

Tough decision but I lean toward this!

Second one gets my vote Phil, great control of the light in both shots.
