Close up of Rose Anemone

[Steve Ruddy]

I am always amazed at the detail revealed in macro photography.

As am I (amazed at the detail).

Terrific pic Steve. Beautiful.

Ideally the right tentacle would not be cropped, but I realize it probably wasn't in the original image.

FYI, there's no EXIF info in your pic.

Your right I didn't capture the right tentacle and image isn't cropped. I try my best to do in camera framing but it doesn't always work out that way. Thanks for the criticism. I love it.

As for the EXIF info it looks like in my save for web window I didn't have add all Metadata selected. By the way how do you view this info if it is there? I use Safari Browser.

That pic's a beauty, even without full right tentacle. Yes, I understand and appreciate that the intended framing somehow isn't always what makes it to the image sensor.

With Elements, if I select Save for Web, the image ends up being stripped of EXIF info. Don't know why. Wish it didn't. I end up Image/Resize and then Save As/jpg which does the same thing and preserves the EXIF info.

Assuming the info is there, it can be viewed in several ways. Running XP and using IE, I used to drag the image off to my desktop, right click and select properties. Then I installed the free Opanda Exif Viewer and now I just right click the image in the browser and select View EXIF Info.

I believe for Safari there are official exif info viewer addons. Try google.
