    Very, very cool Josie. Love the clarity of him!

  • Josie Eldred replied

    Thanks a lot Chelsea! Yeah, I really wanted to have him in focus as well as the drop so tried experimenting with wider apertures and finally got a nice sharp shot.

    The macro is very good, but it’s the pink he is sitting on that makes it complete! Very fun.

  • Josie Eldred replied

    Thanks very much! Yes I think the green and pink go well together :)
