As shot, but some levels and sharpening.
ISO 100, F/9, 1/8, 17-40 L @ 40mm, Canon 10D, Circ Polarizer
I felt that there was too much DoF, so I Gaussian Blurred with a radius of 3.6 pixels, then History Brushed the flower back to sharp.
Still not enough punch I thought, so I History Brushed the larger foreground leaves back to sharp (though I missed a spot!):
Does #2 or #3 look overprocessed?
Is #2 or #3 preferred over the original?
How's the picture overall - does it work, or does it suck?
Any other comments appreciated, don't hold back please.
