really great one Brad! Definitely a distinct image of a very distinct flower, how it circles about the frams, and keeps pulling the eye in & out, changing with the DOF

Hmm. Not that I've ever run into that problem (yeah, right) but maybe go back before the sharpening and increase the contrast more, then reduce the sat slightly on green, then sharpen? The composition is lovely and the flowers (are they peas or wild peas?) are a nice contrast to the green, it's just the blue haloes that are distracting. OK, and maybe a wish for a smidge more DOF in the first place, but I'm sure you knew that.

In Picasa, I notice the sharpen function actually empahsizes the processing done when it comes to saturation, what I have started doing is sharpening as my first step, so the image "starts out" crisp, then I change the saturation; I notice the grain seems less this way. So the sharpen function isn't also cranking the processing step...make sense? I don't know if that's an issue in PS or other "grown up" edit programs or not?
I's like to hear any thoughts on this...
