I love the coloring in this. Did you do any editing? Looks like you blurred the background a bit.eb

Thank Erik! I appreciate. Processed as follows: In Nikon Picture Project: Auto Adjust Brightness (too bright knocked down by 50%), Open in PSElements3.0: Layer adjustments for levels, brightness/contrast and hue/saturation. LOTS of noise so NeatImage. Power Retouche Sharpen. Cloned and healed some hot spots and a bit of spider web on the flower. Resize. Sharpen. No additional blurring except from the NeatImage noise removal. #2909644Erik Bjers June 17, 2006
Sounds like lots of edeting, but well worth it for the end resultseb #2909650

Nice colors, Robert. I like this shade, and it really works for the rest of the photo.I'm wondering, aside from the other work you did, did you change the color for the green?
