Noticing

Using my macro lens with a purposely shallow depth of field, I took a few shots of my asparagus fern the other day. When I brought them into Lightroom, I noticed bumps on the surface of the tiny leaves. I thought the leaves were dirty, so went back outside and looked at the plant more carefully- no dirt that I could see. I reshot the images and took them into Lightroom. There was still a rough, bumpy texture. I actually reshot the photos the next day as well- same results. I’m fascinated with what you can see with a macro lens! I ended up liking this photo best in monochrome.
