 I took a chance with this & desaturated everything but my favorite part--the petals. This was shot hand-held under the noonday sun in between gusts of wind. The BG is provided by an umbrella. Appologies in advance to everyone who is unimpressed by another flower shot.

I don't doubt that you did some desaturation, but I can't tell by looking. :-(

The desat doesn't highlight something in your image.
