 One of, I suspect, many flower submissions - sorry, but I had to take advantage of the cyclamens currently in flower (not usually out till the winter).

Although looks like an outdoor shot was actually taken indoors with pale blue backdrop, in a light box.

crop, levels, desat magentas, dodged a too-dark distracting splodge in background, high pass filter.

Excellent. I love not only the clarity, but the ever-so-slightly warm tone. Great composition, as well.
