Sunset Beach Macro 23b June 19 2012., a photo by VancouverDoug on Flickr.

I really like this shot.

Exhibit A - the petals. Pink and fuzzy. Just like you'd expect petals on a flower to be.

Exhibit B - the center of the flower - razor sharp.

Conclusion - The soft petals remain soft despite a Nikon D300, 64 bit Photomatix and Capture NX/2 pointed directly at them. However, the center of the flower, the flower's tech so to put it, loves the human tech. and comes out razor sharp. Nature 1, Tech 1.
