Macro Images

 While I was taking these photos I was looking at how I could manipulate the shape, and how the color would turn out. I was looking at the vibrance of the colors and the different ways they would reflect. The different ways lines and shapes crossed each other. The water droplets on the Rose and Pumpkin looked so beautiful that I felt I had to try to capture the way that they complimented the object.
