Location: On a flower
Date: Sep 21, 2006
Aperture: F/5
ISO: 200

 pp; crop, cloned out a minor issue, sharpened, slight sat, selectively softened and sharpened

focal length: 200mm (macro)

PC note
Due to bad lighting (working outside) & slight scurry, I didn't notice the 'blue' around the head, which I had sharpened selectively, although subtly - was worried that I had caused this 'blue' but after rechecking the original it is naturally this color. Upping the sat a fraction must have just emphasized it. Wish I had toned it down a fraction during pp. But I have learned.
