WOW! Nice! Very clean image. Only thing thats slightly distracting is the tiny bit of pollen near 3 o clock (if you imagine a clock :))
I'll have to get some new floral shots when I get home :)

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. I didn't actually notice that until you pointed it out but you have a point there it is pretty annoying. Good luck with your floral shots, if they are anything like what you have on your website they're going to look awesome.

That looks pretty cool Alok, it's a shame about the noise HDR creates though :(. I did quite a few experiments with it and even with pretty low ISO shots noise was appearing. I find I can only do noise free HDR using ISO 100 which is rather limiting. I think you can get less noise when you use multiple shots instead of everything generating from the same raw or jpeg file (I think you maybe have done this here but I'm not sure).

Yea, It is indeed a fake hdr, as you might be able to tell from the filename. I generated it from a single jpeg. With single raws or multiple jpegs, there isnt much noise. That said, I think the noise adds a certain something to the pic :)
 
here is what a real HDR looks like the noise is minimal though I agree with Alok sometimes the grain adds the the picture. This had 3 RAW files to produce it.
