A macro image of a red ochid. I sharpened the image to give it more detail. Did I over sharpen the flower?

Hi Floyd--There's a little bit of haloing going on, but other than that, you have produced a nice image of a Phalaenopsis hybrid.....................Jim

Excellent capture of the inner detail of the orchid. The even light really brought out the detail, Floyd.

Good detail and even light. No problem with the sharpening I can see—almost no haloing, no "chunkiness".
