Nice rejects Mike,

Becuase the planetarium is inside the botanical gardens, I too was looking at leaf venation. The backlighting works well and you have captured the stomata crisply. If you tried a gum leaf then you should be able to get the oil vesicles. The trick is in finding a non-diseased leaf specimen.

Were the Kiwi fruit shots front lit or back lit? I wonder how a really thin slice of that fruit (or any fruit) would look when backlit?

OK ... how did you get the person's pupil to remain dilated while the flash went off? Was there any red-eye?

The last shot appears to be something that I recall from the dim, musty recess of my mind ... is it running water? Brisbane is now on level 3 water restrictions . But that water shot has given me an idea, I wonder if I can pull it off though? If not, I'll post it with my growing pile of rejects.

Peter.
