Shot with a borrowed Canon EF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 III at 300mm because it was a bueatiful rose. Opened it up on the 'puter and immediately thought of this challenge. Very little p/p
Levels more for color than for white/black point
Curves for midtones
Duplicated the background and added a VERY subtle gausian blur.
Resized
Added border
I know it won't score as well as it looks because I have commited the sin of entering a flower but damn it it's beautiful!
I'm expecting to see a higher than normal amount of 9-10 scores and a higher than normal 1-4 scores because of the above comment!
Enjoy

This is a pretty nice shot. I can't really add anything that hasn't been told to you already. I've looked at this photo for about 15 minutes trying to find something that I don't like or is technically wrong. The only thing I could find is on the lower left, there is something that looks like it might be sensor dust.
Also, I'm not a huge fan of the borders, but this one matches the photo so well.
Congrats on lucky number 13...
