Emphasizing Super-Saturated Pixels

Instead of trying to ignore the pixels in a low-resolution digital image from an aging camera, I've just gone with them, embracing them as the reality of the situation. I've saturated the colors and sharpened the pixelation a bit. Above, an orange zinnia in the garden.

Fresh and aging copper sunflowers in the west side of the vegetable garden.

Pink zinnia.

 

The almost Spirograph-like center of the newest, and last, sunflower to bloom. You just can't take a photograph of them without bees or butterflies feasting on their nectar!

 

A honeybee unfazed by my presence. He's actually pulling out seeds as gathers nectar.

 

Yesterday's haul—A medium-sized white tomato, a "normal" red tomato, plum and yellow cherry tomatoes. I made a great yellow sauce from these tomatoes—the red sort of faded and the yellow stayed strong. I didn't add anything but fresh basil, salt and pepper, and the finished sauce was as sweet as honey. I froze it for one of those sad and cold winter days, lol.
