Nothing with a white background work....gray...and processing the background made it Hi Key looking and not quite right. So You learn....I need better lights...a better background....AND BOY DOES MY SENSOR NEED CLEANING! It's like a blight! The dust spots have dust spots! OY!!!!
Post: Convert from raw in PSElements 3.0 (Jeez there up to 5.0...guess I should update soon) with +1.0 exposure compenstion. Clone heal dust spots and a couple of imperfections in the flowers. Mainly A LOT OF DUST SPOTS. Whew....any way. Layer adjustments for levels, brightness/contrast and hue saturation. Layer of Curves to brighten. NeatImage. Sharpen. Crop. Resize. Sharpen. Thank goodness for diagonals this week....whew!

Now this is lovely. Dang...this is so pretty!!! Your lighting does good things to my soul!! I know that might sound corny, but I'm being honest when I say it. This is right up there with my favorites.
This is a gorgeous flower photo. Very well done in that regard. Great control of lighting and the image is very crisp and well focused. With all of that being said I can't help but wonder if this is going to get severly dinged for the "white" that you've used. Technically the background flowers are white, but there are other tones mixed in. Anyway, best of luck to you in the challenge.
