Presented solely as a pic of a pretty bloom in my backyard.  :)

Simple and nice. I would perhaps tone down the yellow channel luminosity just a little bit, as the yellow is a bit "aggressive" to my eyes.

Yeah, the yellows are kinda electric. It's almost SOOC: JPEG cropped square; mids pulled down a little; sharpened for Twitter.  ;)

FWIW here's an alternate rendering of the same photo, this time from the RAW.

I like day lilies.  :)

Dave,

Your pair of images make an excellent case for why to process from raw instead of settling for jpegs. It has much more life and substance.
