Is what I said to this little fellow when I happened upon him. I really dug this branch it was intertwined into. I worked this in lab color...then just sharpened the lightness channel some.

Nice find, Rick. The detail is amazing..

NIce one, Rick. I might go with a sort of square crop since the bottom is rather empty.

I agree with Mark, a square crop would also make the brances become highways to the flower. Great shot, Rick !!

At the very least, crop to the top of that lower leaf.

What Ned F. said about detail.

I like Mark's suggestion about the crop, that would really make this one sing.

Thanks for the crop suggestion...Although I hate to crop outside of the normal aspect ratio, I think I have no choice if I want to make this one the best it can be.
I just can't get over how sharpeing the lgihtness channel makes such a difference.
