Within the Bloom
I photographed this petunia bloom in my yard on 8-13-09 at 4:38 p.m. in very bright sunlight. Once I uploaded the RAW image, developed it in Adobe Lightroom 2, and cropped it tightly in Picasa 3, I was astonished at all the "stuff" inside the center. One "something" looks a bit like a cat's eye!
