Congratulations Joe Sanzatimore
Wild Blue Orchid

Well it looks like an orchid although a very tiny one. About the size of a pinky fingernail. If anyone knows what species please let me know. I found it on one of my walks at a local pond. Glad I had my equipment in the car. Processed in CS3 and manipulated there as well. Original is tack sharp but I felt that the softening added some drama to the image. Dark BG is from the use of flash. I know this type of image is either loved or hated, but I for one love these.
