The soft type of colour and feel. Plus the shallow DOF in it just to focus at the main subject, really cool! Nice macro. U were using a 100mm macro lens?

really nice macro!! sharpness is very great!
I read your comment in one other blog that you talked about PS and sharpness of photos. which version you're workin with? I suggest CS3, you can sharp your pictures after resizing with these 3 levels:
First use Filter>Sharpen>Sharpen edges
then Filter>Sharpen>Smart Sharpen ... Amount 20-30 %, radius 2.0-3.0 px
then go to Image>Adjustments> Brightness/Contrast and put 10-15 % for contrast
here is a tip that if your ISO rate is high and your picture have some color noises you can omit them with Filter>Noise>Despackle, and them use the 3 levels above.
please don't hesitate to ask me PS tips my friend, I love this software and teaching what I know.
Sincerely yours,
Hossein.

after All I think "Dee" (dee.aminus.com) is using a "Canon "L" marked lens" not a Tamron (Like you) or a Sigma(like me)!!! Because her/his pictures are realy sharp! The lens says the first word in quality and sharpness.
