Greetings, friends of Steem Lens, on this first anniversary, as a community focused on photography. Let's celebrate this "return to the sun" by expressing our creativity, through our "photographic eye."
Today, I share with you a succulent plant called "Aeonium" that is characterized by its tendency to produce many plants that hang out.
As I am a fan of macrophotography with a cell phone, I took some close-ups of some of these, either individually or in a group. Through these photos, I celebrate the anniversary of our community.
I worked with the A7S camera in macro mode, doing manual close-ups. Then I did digital editing with the Lightroom app, to highlight colors.
Your phone cannot take a closer picture of for example one "leaf", the structure? I wonder about the size. Is it small or more like a tree? Did you add the blue?
Since you said "our community" I congratulate you. I have a rose if you like one but this one is more special. Back then I used photogrid to change the photos in a jpeg. I am not crazy about the extra work and like the original work.
So what you see on the picture is the unexpected result which I still like. I tried to make a new one lately but my phone refused to focus.
Do you know what this is?
Happy aniversary, but I wonder where everyone headed to. 🤔

Hello dear @despiertakitty
Where do I start...?
Sometimes I do get closer shots with my cell phone, but that wasn't the goal this time. Here I wanted to play with the composition of so many twigs.
The blue color was chosen on purpose, I just highlighted that hue that the plant naturally had because of the time I took the photo it was manifested in front of me. That was my artistic intervention.
The photo you share with me looks like a pine branch with frost or snow. A Christmas tree?
And yes, this community is being abandoned by its creators, something "natural in Steemit" 🤫🤔😉
