 no crop. levels, levels again to make it brighter, blue photo filter to get rid of a dull yellow, then I used selective color to bring out the bright yellows and whiten the whites. sharpness at .4 pixels and 250+% (I think)

I don't think this is going to be the big scorer for my sexy lens (dpc likes the saturated colors), but look out for the macro challenge!

I have to say I just about fell off my chair when I brought this up on the screen and saw your name under it - you're entering a whole new world with this sexy new lens, aren't you? ;) Pretty soon you'll be up to your eyeballs in saturated flowers - but flowers with a "posthumous" stamp, of course. The point of focus is perfect in this shot. Now I must turn away before I am corrupted by all this "sexiness".

That burgundy color is magnificent. I also like how my eyes can almost feel the velvety softness of the center area.

Very nice Macro, Flower has great colours, only distaction are the top two Darker area's, and maybe would have positioned flower alittle more off centre.
