[Leica] Which one is better?

[max_weisenfeld at verizon.net (Max Weisenfeld)]

Richard,

Thanks for looking.

The focus on the petals was intentional -- I wanted to get the texture of 
the petals, and didn't have much DOF to work with as I was hand-holding a 
bellows rig.  I will try brightening things up, but in the few minutes I 
worked on it, I blew the highlights and lost the petal detail when I did 
that.  Maybe with more care and time.  :-)

Max
