Didn't lose a thing by cropping. Lovely light and detail and the processing worked nicely.

I really like your edit, including the crop. I may need to give that plug-in a try. This looks great!

Amazing shot, though I find myself feeling sorry for the Hummingbird. It looks like he's screaming :-(((

Thiis is an amazing capture! What lens did you use? Even the original shot was pretty close and in focus.

This is one of the most sensual flower shots I've ever seen, in some ways comparable to "Peach Explosion" by floyd:



Technically there is a lot of noise and some focus issues, but that's not the point here. This is well done!

I agree, how much is this cropped? I would think that at ISO 100 you shouldn't need to run any noise reduction. Its a great shot and I'd like to see it without noise reduction because I can see the noise reduction at work. If the background does need it perhaps you could just run it on the background? I would do a background selection using color range and then just run it on that.
