Tropical Flowers - C&C Welcome

Ok, now on #2 we need more top cropping to get the center of flower at 1/3rd from top. Then rotate 10.5 degrees CCW. Then increase the gamma level at the bottom more, there are things in the dark that can be brought up (like the lone anther at lower left and the green blob thingy at lower right. Though you are running out of both resolution and focus.

at that crop.. still have about 1600 or so on the long side. I will see what it will do...

Here is what I came up with... still have 1300 on one side.. so am getting down to the max. I wish I had done a closeup on that red flower! (oh well.. the Butterfly Pavilion is close by!)

Well, I prefer this to the original for composition. There is some weird black outlining going on with certain white edges. Is that due to the sharpening filter?
