This first started off as a mistake - the pretty flowers were very underexposed. Once I played with it in PhotoShop for a bit, I ended up really liking it though.
Editing: crop, hue/sat, contrast, USM, neat image, USM. Oh, and one of the petals in the foreground had a slight rip in it, so I fixed it up.

I like the dark tone of this shot, and how the flowers in the back just peek out from nothingness (is that a word?). The one in the upper left could be a bit sharper; it seems much softer than the rest.
