Used Nik Color Efex - darken/lighten center, glamour glow, remove color cast
Used Topaz Clean and Topaz Denoise. Darkened green stems so they wouldn't be a "distraction" :)

btw - I may not really understand the definition. I went with a scale comparison. A comparative relationship using the different sizes etc.

***************
I haven't won a ribbon since 2009 so this is quite nice. The elusive Red Ribbon is still out of reach but I guess there's always hope :)
Thanks for all the comments!

Perfect subject for this challenge. Size and color contrasts are fantastic. And the use of the shallow DOF brings this to life. Congrats on your ribbon!
Wonderful example of proportion, even though not by perspective, you showed it beautifully! And the old world still life subject and lighting is wonderful! Congrats on your ribbon!
