Giant Dahlia

This image is from 2008 when I first got a Canon PowerShot S5IS. I was visiting my sister in Western North Carolina and we went to a garden of giant dahlias. I won't bother with technical information because at this point all that from that camera is irrelevant.

But I just came across these and realized that now I could process them in CS5, so that's what I've done here. I'm posting this one in Flora and I may process another one using various filters, etc., in Photo Art. This one just has sharpening, levels and curves applied to it.

Unfortunately, because it's such a complex image both sizes, but particularly the larger version, suffer from image compression.

Comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
