No grain. It's digital. Some digital noise in the shadows, which is to be
expected. It's at ISO 400 and exposed to preserve texture in the bright white
of the blossom petals. It could be cleaned up, but I like the texturing that
a bit of noise contributes. It's more of a film look:-).
Thanks, I knew it was digital, just wondered if the medium is prone to
such noise. Is this underexposure then, so as to get the nice texture
on the petals?
Sorry I am focusing on the technical bits; I find the noise appealing
on the picture.

Thanks Ken. It's as shot.. The painterly effect in the background is just
the nice boken of that classic Vivitar lens.
It is indeed a good shot. But I see something like grain. Is it grain?

Nice capture Paul.
Was the painterly effect (which I reallyt' like) something you achieved
in the initial capture or was it obtained from PS?

Subject: PESO: My Spring Ritual
Every year I watch for the first bloom in my yard. It's always a
snowdrop, and it usually comes in mid March. The temperature reached 60
F today, and the sun was out, so my snowdrops bloomed a little early. It
will be another week or two before we have daffodils, but spring is
here. This year I shot the snowdrop with the *istD, the Vivitar 90/2.5
macro and the A2XS converter, ISO 400, 1/125, f5.6.
