Greenhorn

Project 52, week 19: The Elements. It’s spring, so new life is popping out of the earth everywhere. This is a capsicum plant (paprika), just hours after breaking through the surface (it’s little over a centimeter in height in this photo). I sprayed it with water to add a little something to the picture — and to add another of the Four Elements, Earth, Wind, Fire and Water. 🙂

Incidentally, this picture shows that a normal zoom lens with macro tubes is no match for a real macro lens; the bokeh is a bit messy and there’s quite some distortion towards the edges.
