 This is my VERY first post processed shot - so Basic Editing was a blessing! I edited in Photoshop using the Image Adjustments menu to change the color, highlights, contrast and brightness. To be honest, I just fiddled with those menus until I liked it. Then I agonized over it - is it too much contrast? Is it too much color? Then I got so tired that I just submitted it. OH! And I took a raw file photo this time! Learning something every day...

That's a freaky looking thing. I would of clipped off the red growth from the bulb, as it's quite distracting, and focused it more on the bulb.

Also a better crop, would of enhanced this, maybe a bit tighter. Still good try.
