No grain. It's digital. Some digital noise in the shadows, which is to
be expected. It's at ISO 400 and exposed to preserve texture in the
bright white of the blossom petals. It could be cleaned up, but I like
the texturing that a bit of noise contributes. It's more of a film
look:-).

Thanks Ken. It's as shot.. The painterly effect in the background is
just the nice boken of that classic Vivitar lens.
It is indeed a good shot. But I see something like grain. Is it grain?

Nice capture Paul.
Was the painterly effect (which I reallyt' like) something you
achieved in the initial capture or was it obtained from PS?

Subject: PESO: My Spring Ritual
Every year I watch for the first bloom in my yard. It's always a
snowdrop, and it usually comes in mid March. The temperature
reached 60 F today, and the sun was out, so my snowdrops bloomed a
little early. It will be another week or two before we have
daffodils, but spring is here. This year I shot the snowdrop with
the *istD, the Vivitar 90/2.5 macro and the A2XS converter, ISO
400, 1/125, f5.6.
