Hmmmm Anni, sound like I should have been there to snap you snapping this lovely unique shot. LOL
Oooooh, a breakthrough I know you'll enjoy hearing about. I went to take a shot of one of my new roses and put the good foot up onto the rock wall and stood with all the weight on the right leg. Didn't realize I was doing it until I went to stand up straight. The physical therapist liked hearing that ... he said now you're on your way (since I stopped thinking about the injury).
Back to your shot ... I love the painterly and utterly artistic feel of this shot.

Anni honey, this composition looks almost like a beautiful big purple butterfly...a Barney Butterfly! The details in the stamens are fantastic.
Splendor in the garden.

In thumbnail form this is stunning.
Then I opened it up and the composition is great, the detail is beautiful. But the one thing that really slaps me in the face as magnificent is the few petals on the bottom right flower that have the pearlescence pollen just glimmering away. WOW

I really like the tones, the texture, the composition, and the lovely weed. The only thing that bothers me is the spider web, I'd probably have cloned it out.
The lighting really makes this a standout.

The image is stunning. However, I think your composition is absolutely PERFECT and makes this a stop and stare shot.

I think the colors and the vibrancy work beautifully here. I am the Queen of filters in PP, and I hate to agree and go against grain, but I think it detracts a bit as is. I like the feel, just backing it off just a bit, keep in mind that's only my opinion.
The stem coming in on the diagonal and the stunning colors really make this a fantastic addition to your images.

The background is marvelous with this shot. The bee is wonderfully detailed and all the pieces work beautifully together.

The icing on the cake with this shot is how the BG colors are bigger and brighter and more vivid in the straw flower. Fantastic.

Very impressive pod ... looks a lot like a shower head (just ready to shoot out seeds instead of warm water)!

Jane, you didn't iron these flowers very well ... they're wrinkly.
Actually, I really like that added texture. That beautiful mauve color and the bright pop of yellow really work incredibly well together.
