This month I was doing a photowalk looking for the flannel flowers. However they are a bit late this year. Instead I came across this Broad Leaf Drumstick. This shot is straight out of the camera.

Lovely colors. It looks a little unsharp to me. Did you do any sharpening in PS or Lightroom? I use Topaz sharpener, where you can select just the subject to sharpen and leave the background as it is. Posted: 10/07/2025 18:35:53
I really like the subject and the cropping applied. I agree with Mervyn that the image is not tack sharp on my screen. I am wondering if this is due to the small size of your image: only 70 KB.
I would suggest to save your JPEG files for PSA submission to the highest quality possible, and with a size as close as possible to 1 MB without exceeding it. (Just under 1000KB instead of 70 KB)

I agree with the others that the image looks a little unsharp but that does seem to be a file size issue. Beyond that I do like the subject and colors. Posted: 10/14/2025 01:49:17
This is really nice to be right out of the camera! I, too, have sizing issues which are frustrating. Not familiar with the flower. It is lovely. Posted: 10/14/2025 18:35:47
