Thanks... although I have to 'fess-up that this is manipulated a bit.

I have a chronic problem taking images of bright, highly-saturated
reds. In this case the original image was a RAW. During conversion I
could get either a nicely detailed flower with the background badly
underexposed, or a decently exposed background with the reds blown out
and loosing all detail.

In this case I took those two different conversions of the same image
and then masked them together. I think the result is a little surreal,
but I kind of like it anyway.
