Having had the pleasure of browsing through your awe inspiring portfolio, I had a sneaking suspicion that this gem was yet another of your superb creations.

Congrats on yet another well deserved ribbon.

Thank you so much for all the comments and the votes :) I'm very happy, I love flowers!

Sorry about not listing the details, I thought I had, but I guess I forgot once again.

Image made indoors, by a bright window in the afternoon. Used my trusty macro lens.

The image was shot RAW, most processing done in Nikon Capture Editor (adjusted exposure, curves, saturation). Saved as TIFF.

Opened in PSP9, cloned out a couple imperfections, adjusted colours a bit more, resized, noise reduction, sharpened, saved as JPG.
