All three are lousy with teeny, tiny hair-like fuzz needles, that are quite clearly delineated. Some of them couldn't be more than .001-.002" in diameter, yet Bruce and his hand-held lens captured them well. > There is an out of focus artifact top right, just above and to the right > of the flower which I find really distracting. I couldn't see any artifact, even when enlarging the image quite a bit. Not 'above and to the right.' What form does this 'artifact' take? I'm not particularly fond of the skinny needle-shaped something or other that is emanating from the flower, and heading out at about 10 o'clock. At first I thought it might be part of a spider web thread, but the more i look at it, the less sure I am of that. But, who cares. Were it me, I'd probably get rid of it if I were to show the print. > Sadly, it pretty much ruins the picture for me, it's that annoying. > Sorry. > > William Robb I'm sorry too. Sorry that I can't find what you did! I know I'm working half blind, but I usually am able to eventually see what folks complain about.
