well, if i wasn't awake before getting to your image, i sure as heck am now! wowwee! this is going right into my faves. great work. and now, as i have nothing else to offer, i'll just sit and enjoy it for a moment, if you don't mind. good luck in the challenge!
Nice colors. There is a halo around the flower probably from overcompression of the jpg file, but possibly also from oversharpening. Your file is only 68395 bytes which suggests that is overcompressed.
interesting that the intensity of the blue makes the flower appear almost pale , thus wanting to be looked at first - great shot , simple , effective and definitely energizing
