 Well, I wasn't going to enter this one, but the wife went to bed early so I had a bit of time. She was planning on doing a flower shot, so this is dedicated to her.

Shot in RAW: adjusted exposure and white balance (rather drastically), enhanced the natural vignette a bit

I didn't vote in this challenge but I did add this as a favourite! Absolutely beautiful, I love the composition, detail and the way the centre of the flower looks like lots of little pearls! Fantastic! :o)
