Hi everyone

Today purple is the queen color..
This herbaceous plant of the species Brassica oleraceae belongs to the short-stemmed acephala variety, with leaves arranged in a dense rosette and underweight, about 20 to 30 cm in height. The leaves are large, rounded, waxy, fringed, with frizzy margins, with the outermost leaves being bluish-green and those in the center can be white, pink or purple.
It has a very decorative foliage, having a more ornamental function.

Without more delays, let me present the model

My introductory thoughts about macro photography:

It's amazing how macros with their blurred background can result in such different images full of contrasts and textures especially with this kind of subjects.
In the world of photography, especially macro photography, there is a universe of things available to everyone, enabling totally different and original approaches.

Before moving onto the result...

Feel free to check some of the previous macro photography sessions with a technique short description:

Here i present the technique used through a short visual tutorial:

Among the various possible techniques to shoot macros, this is perhaps the most affordable and effective technique for those who have a camera with removable lens.
We can simply remove the lens and reverse the direction, and by using an inverter ring it ends up being more comfortable and facilitates the process.

Let's now move onto the result:
