 I really shouldn't have missed the green challenge. ;)
Raw conversion with Capture adjusting sharpness, contrast, and saturation. Imported to CS2. Adjusted levels, used clone and heal tool to fix some minor imperfections of the fern and clip a few unwanted bracts. Cropped, sized, smart sharpened, and saved for web.
