    Nothing looks out of place for me. No sharpness/focus issues that don't look due to aperture choice. No noise either.
    Cool flower.

    Apart from a lack of sharpness on the stamen I don't see anything out of place either.

    Agree on the sharpness but the PP looks good to my eye!

    yup, I agree with above (like I would argue with these guys ).

    but now I'm curious: what was the 'before' image like?

    I'll post the original tonight. I used GIMP to darken up the large leaf to the right and was wondering if the edges were visible. Also, I lassoed (is that a word) around the centre of the flower and used the unsharp mask on it to try and sharpen it up. Original to follow...

    ?? Sorry. I'm confused. I don't have any filters yet :( Hoping Santa will bring me an ND and a Polarizing filter.

    Looks like a good job to me. As I said the stamen isn't as sharp as it could be but it may have been too far soft in the first place.
