Joann, hi, they're a beautiful color and i love the light and also the gorgeous background of white flowers..however, this, IMO, is way too softened and sharpened. There is virtually no texture left in the petals and there's a sharpening halo around the flowers. If you used noise removal software, was it necessary to do that much cleanup on this? The downside of too much noise removal is the plastic texture that i see here. best regards: kat~
