Hmm, Still trying to work out how to reply to individual comments. Ah well, Thanks all for you comments. I have included another one of the same flower in a portrait mode. I don't think this has quite the same impact as the first. As before, small changes in levels and sharpening and some cropping. Thecamera is about 12" below the level of the flower.
