What’s Your Preference?

I was not paying any attention. I was probably having too much fun. I have to confess that there were some whole days at work that I spent surfing DPS pages (shh, don't tell anybody...). There is a "sticky" factor to this activity. It is also understandable. One takes pictures (which is a lovely activity), then PP, then post and then get commets both educational and encouraging. By the way one meets new (virtually/but certainly real...) and interesting people. Then: BACK FOR MORE.
Anyway, I made this picture is to commemorate my post number: 500 and my passage to SENIOR MEMBER.

It is a seed for the next 500 posts. Actually a lemon seed that started growing in a lemon a cut open for breakfast. I took this in a black box with four light sources (up, two sides and front from below the seed level). I removed the needle that was holding the seed in the GIMP, adjusted levels and: Walla!.

I thank all the DPS members for looking at my work and for your always helpful comments.
I have learned a lot by listening to you and by observing and reading from the work of others. It has been great. I hope you are enjoying this as much as I am.
See you around.

Congratulations on becoming a senior Flavio and a super photograph to mark it with and so well presented, certainly worthy of the occasion. Thank you for all the great comments on my work. This sure is an addictive place to be. Soon be 1000. Keep up the great work.

Dave.

Wow, In America when you get to be a Senior you can go to Dennys restaurants and eat with a discount! I don't think DPS offers that, but Congratulations anyway!
I really like what you've done with this shot, well thought out and composed. Very interesting
Looking forward to seeing more of your posts
Michael

I would love to do that kind of stuff......but I am really stupid when it comes to photoshop. Alright, now that you have made it to Senior, you have plateaued......you'll be there forever just watching your post count go up and it is pretty amazing how fast it climbs! I am glad that you found the community and I have enjoyed your photography as well as our side talk too.
