Took the shot below tonight. After some PS work I thought it came out pretty good. The background was mostly white to begin with but I used selective color to fix it. I increased the saturation and dodged the flower just slighty. Cropped and sharpened.

Would love your thoughts. Thanks!

I think it's lovely... The color of the flower stands out so well with the white background. Great shot!!!

Beautiful .. it's more art than botany! :-)

I love the stark contrast between the flower and the background. And the diagonal lines that the flower makes are just perfect. Together with the colors, it all looks more like a painting than a photograph.

And for what it's worth, I even think the border on this photo is very important to hold it all together.

Thank you, Laurie!

David, thanks so much for your comments. I'm glad you like the border. I was a bit unsure about it. I had tried a few different border styles and colors but this is the only one that seemed to work well.

Thanks again, both of you!
