Good on you Sonny! :-)  

With all this digital stuff around me these days and basically doing nothing 
more than "oh that looks neat!" A silent digital "click," image captured. Put 
dinky little card into computer slot... down load, there it is on the screen. 
The urge to diddle, "even at 75" becomes a major urge in adjusting colour, 
contrast etc. than I ever thought it possible in wet tray or from the colour 
lab.

I've learned from young PShop wizards it's so easy to "put the ball" in a 
baseball game, or the "puck in the net" of hockey that changing colour or 
enhancing is so easy it's done without thought. Or shall we say no different 
than burning in or dodging in a wet tray darkroom print.

But it was so strikingly beautiful blue I thought "Sonny must have tweaked it." 
;-) Sorry for having any thought that you might have. Beautiful flower picture 
to say the least! 

Now you've peaked my interest in flowers for my Leica Seminar so I'll have to 
pay a visit to the magnificent Butchart Gardens in Victoria and shoot "flowers 
instead of people." ;-)

    WOW!!!!!!!!!! Now that's what yu call blue flowers! :-) I hate to ask
    but............ did you digitally diddle this to enhance the colour or is
    that for real?

    I know, we old time photojournalists never diddle anything! ;-)
