 Shot handheld in full sunlight in windy location which created a lot of contrast and blur. I did my best to improve focus and contrast, but not completely to my liking. Applied Guassian Blur at around 20 pixels and erased in focused areas.

Very vibrant purples show off nicely against the green. Darn good for handheld in windy conditions if you ask me.
