Thanks Don.

You have a great eye. I brought the jpeg back into Photoshop and rotated the 
image so that the larger daisy is on the bottom right. I then cropped the 
image, which helps to minimise the background and emphasize the foreground.

I haven't read the chapter on Dodging and Burning in my PSCS book but I hope 
to get there sometime tomorrow.

Regards,

Greg
