    This is a very nice image Inc, you are doing well. Keep posting
    One of the trick in flora images is trying to get a separation from the BG and also use a reflector (like a casserole SS lid) to produce a 2 D image with nice light and shadows.
    HERE is an example of what I am trying to say.
    Nearly all my flora shots are using a tripod, reflectors and difusers.

    Inc, im still not sure why your images dont come out tack sharp and clear. Do you do PP and what does it consist of? For example, I can help notice that your images are slightly on the over sharpened and noisy side. This happens when an image, that already has noise, becomes grainy looking once sharpening occurs. The High Pass filter is great to reduce noise as well as sharpen edges, not sure if you tried that.

    I like you to put more shots up, try taking shots at 200iso and tripod on a sunny day.. say a flower again. Also ensure you shoot in raw, not JPG.

    ahhh, that explains it... too large a crop Inc! You need to try and fill the viewfinder with the subject as much as possible, so your not having a large crop. BTW - I think the shot is great uncropped, adds more to the flower seeing that its the first to open.

    Also, 1 other vital tip... Adobe RGB colour space isnt the best for online viewing, you need to change it to sRGB colour space in PP before saving as JPG. You will notice the colours become richer so you wont need to necessarily add saturation.
