[Leica] IMG: Friday Flower

[Jim Nichols]

Herb,

I looked at your Exif data for the image, and it reports that it was 
made with a Panasonic DMC-LX5.  How did the Fuji comment get involved?

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.
