Thanks for the comments, Najinsky. Much appreciated. I would guess some of what you notice would probably be compression artifacts as a consequence of reducing to less than 150k. (There was very little cropping, as you would notice from the original shot, which I posted at www.pbase.com/jnconradie/image/70565390 ) Thanks for taking the time to comment. Regards ~jnconradie

Lovely shade of blue and excellent execution. There are a few 'jaggies' evident, is it a crop? If so I wonder if a wider crop, giving a slightly smaller seed would cure it. Rgds - Najinsky

Thanks very much for all the nice comments!

I am not always sure whether it is a great idea to show "how it was done" (it might destroy some of the mystery and cause people to look at the shot differently, I guess), but since I do enjoy learning from others' techniques, I'll give the "how it was done" link here:

A detailed description is posted under that image.

Many thanks again. Regards ~jnconradie
