Another beautiful floral shot. I like the muted colors and the dark background, it makes the shot look peaceful.

I am vacillating between it maybe being too soft to really, really liking it...they don't call me wishy-washy for nothing  :P

Hi Chris - I'll let you in on a secret: The processing involved a bit of negative clarity and some gaussian blur. I went back and forth over the processing for a week, and finally decided that this one was more to my liking. Thanks for your comments.

I think the softness fits the subject nicely.
(When I'm feeling wishy-washy, I usually don't comment.   ;) )
