The light behind the plant is really showing off the beauty of this macro. The bokeh makes for a wonderful background.

Your colors are stunning. Vivid but not overdone.

Comment by Arcanist:
Am agreeing with PP commentary, but trying to figure out what is causing it. Looks like there was somehow some movement in the tip of the flower that the rest of the stabilized stalk did not readily exhibit. At 1/180, I cannot image not freezing this subject unless the wind was whipping at a 100mph. Perhaps it is a haloing effect between the fore and backgrounds. Rather than USM, try a duplicate layer Highpass with a very low px width and soft light or overlay to complete the sharpen. That may eliminate the halo.

Love the subject and composition.

Not bad - looks a little oversharpened/over-PP'd though?

Comment by MelonMusketeer:
That is a complex looking little bud. I also like the back light, and understand the back light blowout at the tip. At that point, you were getting direct light plus the light coming thru the stamens. Good details in the near side of the stem in this shot.
