Macro Experiment & Skywatch Friday

This was a failed macro photo but as I looked at it, I realized I liked the effect of the stems against the lovely sky. Happy Sky Watch Friday everyone. I do have an entry for the macro flowers meme so come back a little later *wink.

Link up with Sky Watchers here.

    Well, as God said to Noah, "You never know what you can do until you try." (Bill Cosby)
    And you were right, it's a beautiful sky.

    Hey Al, you are right! Thanks for the encouragement. BTW, the soup was great and I've learned that red bell peppers are very nutritious.

    The foreground plants actually gives a nice framing to the sky.

    Happy Skywatch Friday.

    There's always some good to be found in a photo you first thought was a failure.Luckily, for most of us :-)

    Those unintended results are part of what makes photography fun. You don't often get a sky shot out of a macro.

    As I've said before, some of my favorite shots were by accident. I like this, too.

    I agree with you. Sometimes we thought a certain photo deserve to be deleted but some do have a very good effect. Happy weekend!
