Patrick, I'm so envious of your G9 with all the outstanding captures so much sharper and clearer than my EOS shots...or is it simply because you are so talented and exceptional at post processing?

Patrick- Good evening my friend. Hope all is well for you. You certainly have taken the dandelion to a new level. This would compete against any rose for beauty. Who knew that the lowly dandelion, that thing people are always trying to kill in their yards could actually have such stunning beauty? This fabulous macro shows that nothing we look at as photographers should be overlooked. There is alot of marvelous things to see if we take the time to.Candice L. Carter June 06, 2008
This is so different than the dandilions I have in my yard! What a brillantly exquisite shot! #6027645Theresa M. VanderStaay June 07, 2008
Wow Patrick...I will never look at a dandelion the same way again...They are quite beautiful little flowers even though they are a weed...The focus is crystal clear and the color is brillant....Excellent job Patrick...Great capture!...Tessa #6030261Lynn Haack June 07, 2008

I always knew dandelions were a BEAUTIFUL flower and you just proved it. This is amazing. #6031928eileen bedford June 08, 2008
AWESOME Patrick. Question, when I use Picasa shrpening, I get it to sharp. Is there an adjustment to it or have I got an older (free of web) version? #6033776Patrick Rouzes June 08, 2008
Thank you for the encouragening comments, everyone!!!Eileen,I have the older free version of Picasa. I will try my best to describe so I hope you can understand. I find that with Picasa the sharpening tool will only sharpen a slightly "off" or "slightly blurrd" shot. If it is blurrd a bit too much then the sharpening tool woll not correct it & it will only add noise to the shot. I also find that if you do not get the sharpness after ONE touch of the sharpening tool then it will just cause noise & more blurring. I also think the the more pixels your camera has the bigger the chance of sharpening without noise. So what I am say is that Picas will not sharpen a blurred shot unless it is only "off" the slightest bit. Now I am repeating myself so Ill leave it there. Pls let me know if you understand this or if it is of any help to you. If not I will try another explanation,lol. Boy, that's long winded but im not,lol. Let me know & have a nice day, Eileen!!! #6034057

Oh, eileen, I am not sure of what you mean about "getting it too sharp". Is that what you are trying to achieve- sharpness?Deborah C. Lewinson June 08, 2008
