 Picture of my wifes birthday flowers. Cloned out a bad spot, upped the brightness and sharpness, resized and applied USM. That's it. Not very good at this editing thing and couldn't find any settings that I liked better than that.

Originally tried to highlight the outside edge of the main flower and add invert the selection, then I applied some glaussan blur to the background, but I could tell where my selection was right on and I tired to fix with the smudge brush and that made it worse. So I took out the blur and went with this. Hope it at least gets a 4.

I like the shot. A closer crop might have had more impact, IMHO.
