Nice shot of the flower. The metal cage is somewhat distracting; but I still really like the flower.

Maybe PS the metal out?

Just my humble comments.

Hope they help...

I think some of the white in the flower is blown out (overexposed) losing detail. Plus, as already stated the metal (support I guess) is a little distracting. Here is an edit to reduce the blown out white area.

That edit makes a big difference!

what exactly did you do

what exactly did you do

Do you have ACR 4.1? It is part of PS for RAW files, even though your photo is a jpeg you can still use ACR 4.1. I opened the photo in ACR 4.1 and did the following:

Exposure= -.35

Brightness= -.18

Recovery= 27

I then opened the photo in PS and did some selective sharpening on the flower only.

that's sweet. i'm in the process of getting either CS2 or CS3. Can you explain if either of these come with "ACR", if not, is it a free plug in?
