 This is my first submission. This was taken indoors (only natural lighting) at the back of the house overlooking the back garden. It is a Phalaenopsis orchid that wanted to go outside and enjoy the greenery. :-)

I just sharpened, brightened, and colour saturated the photo along with cropping. Though I still wanted it to be a bit soft and have that dreamy look.

Thanks for all the comments. I do agree on the focus/contrast issues so I hope to do better the next time.

This is a nice idea and a lovely subject. The flower could use more contrast to make it set itself apart from the background.

Lovin the background. Although the petals look a tiny bit out of focus.
