I used the Sony HX 100 V for this shot, I only did a tad of gamma adj, to make the background just a bit more dark.

I like the way the sony gives a dark background on the flower captures, it makes it more dramatic I think.

I did a slight sharpen, gamma adj. and crop.

Thanks for the comments, I do appreciate the words of support and wonderful advice given.

I have decided to keep the Sony, I think it will make a nice second camera. I still do enjoy the canon, but I think this makes a nice addition to my equipment.
