 From last week's haul at Pure Design. Well not really but it was a nice bunch of everything. Course then they all died....but then there's all tomorrow...wonder what will be there.

Post: Convert from raw in PSElements 3.0 with a +0.33 exposure compensation. Cropped twice. Spot edit sensor dust and a few aberrations on the petals. Layer adjustments for levels, brightness/contrast and hue/saturation. Curves? Hmmmm...maybe. Not sure. But as I recall, I don't think so. Bit of dodging at the base of the petals. Sharpen. Flip Horizontal. Resize. Sharpen.

Great shot Robert. I realized later that it was probably you, remembering an outtake with a similar flower.

Agh, didn't know poppies are so hairy! Congratulations, it's difficult to take an interesting picture of a flower.

Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning. It's day two three now and I'm running late, sorry.
