Default Different Angle

Here's another of my mom's dahlias. This one is a single. I decided to try a different angle and I played around with the colours (darkening and/or brightening) and sharpened it somewhat.

Thanks. I really like the way this one turned out. I'm thinking of getting it enlarged and printed out and framed for my mom. I wonder if enlarging it would distort it any...

It looks like a detailed shot .. Do you still have the original? throw it on a memory stick or take the card into a decent printer, they should be able to give you some guidance on how large it can go?

Yes, I do have the original but the colors aren't as nice as this one...the actual flower colours, while pretty, look a little faded (probably from the sun). I'll try your suggestion though. Thanks.
