I never liked the pale blue background in this shot so decided to try something new with it.

Thanks for all the great feedback on this, y'all! Here's the origional for comparison. I don't know what made me think of red, but it sure changes the image. No other edits on this shot, but I see now that I should have expanded the red by a pixel or two. Looks like I left a tiny blue edge on the Taro plant. #3045964

Don't know about the rest of you, but I've still not figured out how add a photo on the first try :-) #3045978

If you go through my gallery, you will see that I have posted images that have not been edited in any way...it is one of my goals. In the case of this photo, the red certainly makes for a more dynamic image!! #3046001
