Support Excellent photograph and good EV. There's also a 16-bit TIFF version and the license couldn't be more open.

I wondered if slight sharpening would help to address the DOF issue here. It's not far off, but just enough to be marginally annoying.

I could give it a run through GIMP tomorrow. Little late tonight, since a download would take 10 minutes and the upload 20 (my connection sucks)

From my point of view it is an absolute no-no to sharpen out of focus areas. A photograph is not a 3d-rendering and always has narrow depth of field. It would be technically feasible to recover all the blurred detail through deconvolution sharpening, but as soon as you run a standard sharpening filter over the image you end up destroying the photographer's initial work. When I created the image I carefully masked out the pixels within the field of focus and sharpened them using a high-pass filter. Now if you want more sharpness I can increase the strength of the filter, but please don't destroy the photograph just because some people are too technically minded. --

Fair point. Unless someone else objects, I'll leave it alone. If I do run it through a sharpener, it would be uploaded separately.

Trimmed a sentence. Seems I'm not the only one getting mixed signals with captions.

Support Good EV, pretty photo. I don't see the caption problem.

Support. Good macro photo with good EV. Would have liked to see it from a slightly higher vantage point though.

Oppose If it were to have just one of the jello background and lack in foreground focus, I'd let it slip, but seeing that we're apparently prevented from fixing shortcomings without incurring wrath, I'm going to have to oppose.
