This image is very striking, the bright contrast and colors and all the details and the sharp pollen grains. I like it as is.

You could experiment and crop even tighter to eliminate the 2 black triangles at the top and the small black strip at the bottom. This is usually how I work in the field. I like to start out with a loose crop and end up very tight close up for the last images.

Hi Michael,

I really like the color and texture here. The detail looks great. I would try the crop that Robert has recommended.
