    Ravi this is a very pleasing image, I really like it.
    As a rather traditional nature photographer I look at it and like it but I say what's going on here? The image appears to be in focus and yet it looks as if some very fine glass paper has been rubbed all over it. Also there are few very pronounced edges here and there - slightly left of centre at the base between the sepal and stem.

    Looks very nice. Like the pose on the bumble bee and how it's at the top of the flower. Wish for some below. Nice and sharp.

    I have uploaded the edited image. I think the ground glass appearance was due to lack of contrast. I have increased contrast. I would rather leave sharp edges alone. That would require more manipulation of the image, which often I am hesitant to do.
