Found

You could not construct a still life to match the ones you find, if you are looking for them. It is a matter of attention to pattern and detail. Once you begin looking in a certain way, you find interesting images everywhere.

This is from the walk back from Bowman’s Beach on Sanibel Island. I saw the flowers and took several straight ahead portraits, since the light was lovely on them, and then this. It looks like I arranged it, but I did not.

Sony DSC H50 465mm equiv. One of the things I really like about the H50 is the ability to take these full telephoto macros.  F4.5 @ 1/160 @ ISO 100. Programed Auto. 

In Lightroom this needed some Recovery for the highlights in the palm fond, then my standard bit of Clarity, Vibrance, and the Landscape Sharpen preset. 

It is from the Sanibel and Everglades Gallery.
