I closed my eyes and put my hand on the flowers giving me a false perception of being blind. Opened my eyes, focused and shot.
Post: layer adjustments for levels, brightness/contrast, hue/sat, USM, crop, resize, USM. BTW, when one of my co-workers saw this she said "It looks like someone is feeling up the flowers!" I guess there is some conveyance of theme....AHHHHH!

beautifully lit. the color of the flowers is very vibrant. something about not seeing the thumb in the frame looks weird to me, but it is not a major distraction in the shot. overall very nice.
I LOVE the color! This could cheer anyone's day. This picture would have been good with just the flowers but adding the hand makes it so much better. You can just imagine what the feel of fresh flowers would feel like on your fingertips.
