a lovely capture (what bug is that anyway?)
I've also seen your edited version (as shown thumbnail above).
Since you asked for a comparison - the edited one definately show a stronger colour and sharpness. Might wanna try the Fuji Vivia settings on your camera, and bump the in-camera sharpening a little higher, if straight-out-of-camera is what you do :)

wow! Congrats on the top-10 placement, Judi.
Also, great tulips there, I love the vibrant colours.
I was wondering if the background was real, then read your descriptions
and I guess that answered that :) good work!

very nice perspective - never thought a top-down direct shot would be so beautiful (ok, maybe coz you're holding the camera, lol). Nice soft colours here. Love it!

OK, I'm not leaving a vote - comment only. Cheers.

Congrats on the top 20, Dan. No wonder the guy looks familiar - it was you! Should've guessed that. Great execution, and it's fun to read on your description about how you did that.
