 I think this is St. John's Wort, but if anyone can provide a different identification, please let me know.

While not an especially inspired shot, on this one I experimented a lot with curves and selective desat. In the original unedited shot (which I've managed to misplace, duh), the colors are very vivid: screaming yellow petals and acid green leaves.

Also tried selecting just the blossom and doing some adjustments just to it. Usually I don't do any local image adjustments, except the occasional speck removal. I haven't mastered Photoshop's selection tools (or curves layer, for that matter).

I love it. I like how the yellow flower seems to pop right out the screen. Great job

Excellent composition and I like the muted colors.

I don't think this is St.John's wort - too many petals. It usually has only 5.

Very nice straight forward shot of flower and bud. Works real well

It doesn't look like the St. John's wort around here, but then again it's hard to tell because it isn't fully opened. I like this shot, though, you've got a newly opening flower and a bud in one photo, focus is nice yet it still has a soft delicate feel to it.
