 grew in my yard from the birdseed left from winter

editing: It was very sharp to begin with-used tripod & remote shutter-then tried Topaz Detail "soft effect" @ 25% opacity- that's all ...

A great explosion of color. Your border is particularly nice. It frames the photo nicely.

Lovely shot. I don't like the inner border though. My eyes start in the center and want to flow out on the gentle petals and leaves, but they run abruptly into the border.

This is just superb, Pat. I love the sheer perfection of that bloom - it should be in the serendipity sc, too.

I've had the same type of growth from under my feeders. This is good stuff.

This is spectacular! How did you do the softness with so much clarity? Was it done in the shot or in the processing?
