Your pp eye did good this time. Maybe perfect because you've achieved a marvelous imitation in the sky of the natural 'texture' of the flower without it being obtrusive. The result is a melding of sky and flower in an unusual and pleasing way. I especially love the play of the misty section of sky with the peddles. What a difference! -tv

This is one of the few color shots that look good with the grain. It's subtle enough so it doesn't detract from the lovely flower. Great lighting too Rod! CJ

Funny you should say that Tommy, I didn't mind too much doing these off the HD but the shots I got yesterday for eligible I really felt like I was laying black texture over them for no good reason. I will see if I can make this grain a lot more subtle....................Photoshop here I come:-)

I'm gonna have trouble with this topic. To overlay a perfectly good, subtly colored shot like this with black texture seems a waste. It just imitates my fading eyesight... -tv
