Woolly Croton

I'm always amazed at the beauty and complexity of the natural world that continues to emerge, not only without the help of human beings, but in spite of everything we seem to do to screw it up.

This macro shot of this Woolly Croton was shot in available early morning light on an overcast day with a Canon 40D with a 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM lens and 500D close-up lens set at 145mm, f/8, 1/200 sec, at ISO 100, white balance set at cloudy, in aperture priority mode with auto exposure set at -1/3.

CS4 was used for post cropping, tonal adjustments, vibrance, sharpening, and a simple square vignette.
