Used Picasa to adjust contrast and sharpen. I absolutely love taking closeup wildflower shots. And this set of wild columbine is struggling to grow in my parents' field in PA - I laid on the ground face-up to get this shot and it was a windy day.

I really like the grainy texture in this. It's not directly relevant to either the challenge or the subject though. Shame, because it adds a sort of melancholy mood (I think). Hmm...
No offence, but the post processing makes this image look weird. The bark on the tree looks like the same time of velvety substance one sees on elk when they grow new horns..
I rather nice image, but the bokeh could have been enhanced a bit.
