Another bash at the lemonade trick LOL. Here is the result of a couple of juicy red grapes that have been dropped into a glass of lemonade.

Enjoying Photography competition

I'm in a really good mood today. I've just found out I've won the EP websites (Enjoying Photography) monthly competition. It's a small competition but always worth entering. The theme of the competition was 'macro - small is beautiful' and I won with the above photo.
.
Judging the competition was the famous Wildlife/Natural History photographer and author Chris Weston. He said "Carole's image of the Kiwi fruit submerged in lemonade was Nicely composed, technically well shot and had a great use of light."
.
I'm so proud I've actually been praised by a very well known photographer. Woohoo!
.
The prize I won was one of Chris' books called 'Macro Through a Nikon Lens'.

Cherry

Sorry everyone this has to be quick tonight. I've been having trouble logging back in to Flickr tonight after doing a good turn for a friend at my local camera club. I had to log out of my acccount to help her and now I cannot get back in. Never mind it'll hopefully be ok tomorrow, if or when, they send me a new password. Fingers crossed.

.

This photo has been taken very quickly. Not the greatest I must admit, but I promised I would place a photo every day and don't want to break that promise if I can help it. The cherry was placed in a small glass of lemonade. The top bubble reminds me of a droplet of molten silver.
