Took that in the botanical garden in Hong Kong. I set quite a trend by taking this shot as a number of visitors took their P&S cameras and stuck it right where my lens had been a few seconds earlier.
Given the talent of the Asians to copy things their shots might have turned out even better than mine

Lovely shot Prieni, it so different.

The lines in the texture are very fine and of course the shadow finish it all.

Really cool shot Prieni. Lovely shades of green, and a brilliant vantage point This looks vaguely familiar, is this one of your PPG shots?

I can't beleive this didn't get any comments the first time round!

Yeah it deserved a second chance

too bad of the dots though on the leaf, can you clone that out?

Hey Stefan,

are you on a trip down memory lane? This one is almost two years old!

Thanks for commenting on this. It was a feeble attempt to recreate something like the one I took on Maui (see here).

Of course I can clone out the spots on the leaf, but I thought it's not worth it...

Gareth,

I was referring to the big black blob (i.e. the shadow of the fly). You are right, the spots are on the leaf.

I must have hit a low spot with this thread, shortly before Christmas and no financial crisis in sight. Sigh, those were the days...
