Yes, I did hit 'sharpen more' at least once, resulting in the slightly grainy background, and the irridecent fringes on the front and rear edhes of the flower... liked the effect tho, so didn't go back to the original and try different processing steps.

I do like this, the colour is just great. There look to be some artifacts in the background, perhaps from the sharpening or compression? But nicely done. Alistair
