Thanks, George. Of course I see your point. I did my best in LR6, but it just didn’t work.

Cheers,

Herb

When I reduced red saturation enough to break up some of the solid central red, the periphery got a bit yellow, and playing with yellow parameters did not have much effect. I then started playing with magenta, which was a bit more successful, but I could not really resolve the central area without destroying the periphery. I thought at first I had an improved the  picture, but when I made a direct comparison between the original and the “improved” version, I did not feel it was improved enough to be worth posting. I  think there were so many spines (petals?) that the central area just looked solid.
