I have always wanted to do this, and in editing Snow Flower tonight I could not resist. This a detail zoomed in in PS and cropped. Often zooming in on an image in PS that is emulsion based, has me going gaga over the beauty. I have never had that same reaction zooming in of a digital sensor image. Never.
