Ok. Tried it again, and I see your point. However, my experience of the image change a lot. Imo, the buds take the role that the dark area had. It brings more focus to the petals, but I think the buds loose their power as an active element in the picture. > Whether that makes the picture any _better_ is >another matter (and a highly subjective one, too). It's two very different pics, I think. Both good. Makes me long for spring... Jostein.
