105/365: Macro Monday

It's hard to believe that just over a year ago, I embarked on my first photo challenge. I attempted the month of pictures with a pre-determined prompt for each day. It amazes me that just one year ago, I took on this challenge knowing nothing about shooting in manual and nothing about editing. Regardless, I knew I had the passion for photography, and I think I had a pretty good untrained eye. On March 26th, the prompt was "up close." This is what I took with my Olympus PEN set to an "artistic" mode to get the high key look...

For Macro Monday, I decided to take a similar picture, but in manual and with editing.

I'm actually not sure which one I like better!
