Thanks all...
Maureen, there's actually not _too_ much Photoshop applied to this one that is different from any of the others. I believe the only additional alteration is swapping the blue and red channels (kind of a standard way to process the red-toned infrared images in order to produce a blue-toned sky).

Beautiful photo, Daniel. As an aside, I enjoyed reading the commentary associated with your previous photo of this plant May 5, 2005 - when BPotD was new. When you return from vacation I'd be interested in a followup on how many subscribers the site now has - my guess is that it has grown by leaps and bounds! A tribute to your efforts!
