John,

Wonderful comp. There appears to be some halos around some of the leaves--my guess its a real feature of the leaves. The BG is dark enough to keep those flowers nice and visible. Well done......................Jim

Thanks Jim
Yes I can see it on some of them now. Also around the middle/right flower too.
May post another. Cheers

John, I believe the white halos on flowers and leaves may result from imperfect alignment of the images. As far as the picture goes, it's a corker! If you can change the parameters of acceptability, it might do to run it through again. Cloning would be tedious. I hope you can get it fixed. It's a minor problem, except presenting it to us "pixel peepers". laugh

Very nice, John. I prefer the contrat and color in the original a bit more, but the repost certainly addresses the halo issue. The subject stands out well from the bg in both.

Repost looks pretty good--maybe bump up the contrast prior to printing this one. Very nice presentation.........................Jim

Great detail, very dainty. I agree with Jim to bump up the contrast before printing.

John, I love this soft pictorial photo with a beautiful yellow color against a contrasting background.
