Both your images are splendid. It was a good find and you did it justice.

Yes, the crop, exchange of background, the enhanced color all add to the beauty of this flower.
Somehow, all the above and perhaps a little more, have given this flower some dimension or roundness that add to the work. I have a feeling this would look really good in a sort of dappled background using soft yellows, pinks and greens. (Sort of build your own bokeh) Just a thought, it's fine as is.

I couldn't help myself. This is what I mean -

The colors are wonderful in this image and the background
bokeh is appealing. I'm not sure the yellow flower and the
critter are in sharp enough focus to make this work perfectly,
but that's just IMO...

Luscious colors you found in this flower. Nice soft-focus image.
If it was mine, I might crop it slightly differently; that is
crop closer to the edge of the left major flower and then clone out any
remaining color from the flower at the lower left corner.

You are doing a good job with this technique. want to tell us how you
are achieving this effect? It's quite interesting.

one thought. When something white is in the picture, the viewer is drawn
to it first. If you want the viewer to look at that white signpost/billboard to the
left of your image, then the brightness works. If you want them to keep
looking at the road, clouds, etc. then it may be a tiny bit bright.
