Carolina Jasmine

After heavy rains recently and warm days, Spring is assaulting North Texas with a passion. This Carolina Jasmine grows on an arbor in our back yard.

Ah. Spring. How I am longing for that to come to my country, too!
Deep yellow against deep blue. What a compliment to both colours (literally and figuratively speaking).
Could it be a tad oversharpened?
Or what would bring about this kind of halo (not really a halo, but there are some ... would they be called "artefacts"? ... around the blossom) about?

My wife macawlvr has that suff growing wild everywhere. I always know spring is here when it starts blooming.

Thanks for the feedback. The halo was due to resizing not to sharpening. I could not eliminate it from the first picture, so I substituted another in my original post. :blushing:
