Pretty remarkable difference on this one! Some of the steps I can see, but really curious how you got those fantastic brown tones on the wood? Is this in the gulf somewhere?

I like that you took this from the backside of the flower. No body ever does that! lol as for the prcessing, the flower itself is definitely bolder, with enhanced texture and detail. I'm torn between your background and sfalice's rendition. Both good, but in different ways!

Did you achieve the colors by color overlay layers w/ masks?

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 -

Nice job of color detail and sharpness. The black background really makes it pop.
