The second Monday of the month challenge at Lens and Pens by Sally is MACRO. I took this close-up of part of our rubber tree after a heavy rain using my iPhone5.

LIVING WITH MY ANCESTORS 
What was I thinking–one week ahead of myself. I’m delighted that you tried the inverted feature. I like that one the best, because it gives it a surreal quality. It’s almost like a watercolor. Happy Photo Challenge.
Thanks, Sally! Don’t worry, your fans will keep you straight! LOL! 😉 I like the idea of a watercolor! Happy week! 😀

I do love how good our phones have become at taking fab shots..i love these..most likely because of the rain! we sure need some here 🙂 lovey images sweets 🙂 Hugs Bev x
Thanks so much, Bev! Can’t wait till I can upgrade to the 6s+! I hope you get the rain you need soon! Many hugs! 😀
Me too sweets..no sign of any for October..urghhh 😦
Really love the composition. I too often stand back and photograph a whole leaf. This partial leaf with red stem across it is magical!
Wow, thanks so much Rusha! 😀
I prefer the first and third, which show the drops in all their glory. I do love drop photos. 🙂

Thanks, Janet! I love drop photos, too. I was trying to get some drops with reflections but it didn’t work out that way! 😀
Some days I’ve come back with drop shots I thought would be spectacular and they’re just out-of-focus or something. It’s so disappointing! Just the perfect excuse to take some more. 🙂
I love the composition of the shot you are highlighting. I can’t pick a favorite, I really find elements in both the B & W images and the color shot that I really like.
Thanks, Charlie! I’m so glad that you like these! 😀
Impressive macro photography dear Linda!The huge,droplet-dripping leaf is stunning in all three photos.Did you change the screen options to get the second one?Whatever you did the outcome is gorgeous.We call the tree Ficus and we grow it indoors as well.I love it for its shiny oval leaves,it made a perfect photo for the challenge 🙂 xxx
Thank you, dear Doda! My edits are nothing fancy. I think I used Fotor to get the black and white and the inverted. Silly me, I can’t remember now what I did! Anyway, so glad you liked this. I used to have a Ficus tree in my house years ago but it died. I remember it having small leaves, though. Oh, well! You can see how well my memory is working these days! HA! 😆
You and Fotor did a very good job,dear Linda!The second one is magnificent!The one with the smaller leaves,you had indoors,belongs to the same family,it’s a lovely houseplant.It seems,I pleasantly jogged your memory 🙂 xxx
Well done, creative and artistic! Love it, Johanna
Thank you so much, Johanna! 😀
I find the second one intriguing. I’m a big fan of color so I likely will always pick that.
Thanks, Sue! I’m agreeing with you! 😀
well done Linda!! the inverted is interesting!!
Thanks, I wasn’t sure how it would come out, but I like it! 😀
