 Last minute substitution ... detail macro shot of a piece of art glass, shot with my 100mm macro and all 3 manual tele-extenders attached.

Shot in the backyard with the morning sun filtering through the glass. Bumped up the brightness, contrast, and saturation more than I ususally do, and WAY oversharpened, deliiberately, to accentuate each individual bubble (284/1.0 on the first pass, 128 on the second). Levels, border, s4w.

The piece is a small teapot, about 5" high. Not that you can tell from this shot!

Pretty! Looks like glass, I will guess that it is one of those glass paperweights or a glass ball/float. I like the swirls and curves in this.
