Hard contrast black and white makes the subject so wonderfully mysterious. Well done!

Thanks a lot, Sami! I played around with the various options in Silver Efex, high contrast worked best.

Looks great. I love the detail on the berry in front.

I've never eaten them. Are they good?

6 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Karen's Place ^club

Thanks a lot, Karen! They aren't usually eaten like berries but used for flavouring spirits (Gin!) or used in cooking (for sauces with dark meat or with Sauerkraut). They taste slightly bitter and resinous.

Karen's Place ^club has replied to Gudrun ^club

Oh, I didn't know that. They sound interesting. Danke! :)

Gudrun ^club has replied to Karen's Place ^club

You should try a few lightly crushed in a sauce for boar or venison:-)

Karen's Place ^club has replied to Gudrun ^club

Yum...I am a vegetarian but I do love sauces. Danke. :)))

Gudrun ^club has replied to Chrissy ^club

Herzlichen Dank, Chrissy! Das Sternchen hatte ich vorher noch nie bemerkt! Ich habe die sonst einfach unbesehen in den Kochtopf geschmissen;-)

Amelia ^club

Love the high contrast and the details of the little star. There's no doubt about it, prime lenses are the best for this type of photo, but they're expensive. :-))

6 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Amelia ^club

Thank you so much, Amelia! Some primes are cheaper than zoom lenses but they are not very practical if you're traveling;-) I found that using a tripod and manual focusing with live view helps a lot with macros.
