 Last minute submission... luckily I had a shirt the same color as the center of some flowers I just got.

I know I'm going to get comments about my depth of field, but I was using my P&S which has no option to change depth of field, so oh well. I'm also unhappy w/ the shadow of the flower on the shirt and the slightly plasticky look of the cloth behind the flower (result of neat image which I used to get rid of some texture on the shirt), but I was working with what I have available to me last minute :)

Editing: crop, resize, increase saturation slightly, decrease contrast slightly, USM, neat image x2.

Seems a bit grainy and dark. Maybe try shooting with a lower ISO?

Cool pic, the yellowish green don't really work well with the reddish pink in my opinion, but I'm not taking any away for that.
