From Wikipedia:
La Bodeguita del Medio is a typical restaurant-bar of Havana (Cuba). It is a famous tourist destination because of the personalities which have patronized it: Salvador Allende, the poet Pablo Neruda, the artist Josignacio and many others. La Bodeguita lays claim to being the birthplace of the Mojito cocktail, prepared in the bar since its opening in 1942, although this is disputed. The rooms are full of curious objects, frames, photos, as well as the walls covered by signatures of famous or unknown customers, recounting the island's past.
This is a close up shot of a mint stalk from a plant in my garden. Again, another plant that does not generate much interest from a distance but is complex and beautiful when you get close. This plant has such cool colors so I used 5500K light temperature to shoot it. A warmer temperature would produce a very different result.
I rarely use Photoshop in my macro work. Only thing I did is adjust the exposure in the RAW editor.
Look closely. We had a frost here in Victoria last night. This droplet is half liquid water and half ice, with the ice floating in the top, just like your favorite summer cocktail. What's your fav? I like Mojitos because of the fresh, green herbs, thus the name of this green, frosty droplet photo...blue sky too. I'm yearning for summer here.
