This certainly is a delight. I like the intensity of the color, vein detail in the leaves and that magnificent background. Your flower images really have emotion with the technique you use.

I see you took this shot in ISO 800. Is that why that noise is created? Of course, it looks marvelous and adds up the vividness of the shot.
17 Jun 2009 5:01pm
@Ajay: I did zip noise reduction on this. It would have been easy to remove.
