Best Still Life Photos 800x600

Ok people, lets see how good you are with those cameras....Who knows their stuff? Here is one of my favorite Still Life pics I have taken...this was a macro shot at 1.5in away. The lighting is a secret...

Cannon PowerShot A520 4.0 mega pixels

The lighting is an overhead to the left of the shot, probably a ceiling light or lamp with the cover off given the brightness. No flash and it appears to be a bouque arrangement so I would say indoor for sure. Just a guess. Beautiful shot, I love photography, but I need a enw camera. My last one got caught between the slam panel and rear hatch of my 77Z. oops...

You know your stuff...overhead fan with 60watt bulb, no flash...further edited in PhotoShop CS. I played with colors, shadows and highlights, contrast and sharpness.

But this is "still life." It's WAY different than anything else... I agree tho... we don't really need a ton of "post your pics" threads....

Actually I took, it, there is another one on my DA. I took this photo in Fairwood, WA. You can look on my DA and see the EXIF data from my camera.
I took it by just walking outside in the morning and noticing some really freaken small frogs. I've got a D70, used a wide angle lens. What else to u want to know?

I have another from the same time on my dA
Actually here
