Close up

Don't lick me!
Yes, this is one of those weeds that grows in your yard that are the ones that if you lick or eat it you can hallucinate. Don't judge me, I didn't plant it, it just was available for a close up. This photo was cropped in Windows Live Photo Gallery and the brightness and color were also adjusted.  I left it off center to put the flower more towards the rule of thirds. I also left the top left dark to balance out the white of the flower as there is also an unopened blossom back there as well. As I have stated before, I enjoy macro photography as I have walked past this weed dozens of times and never paid much attention to it. However, I love the texture of the leaves with the holes left by some insect and the imperfections on the flower that look like mud splatters. Having to look closer at subjects makes me notice textures and subtleties that I would normally overlook.
