Light with a preflash from hand-held SB-800 speedlight, then 'painted' each flower with a flashlight. In PS- cropped, adjusted color balance, curves, saturation, resized, small gaussian blur, added border, save for web.

Nice lighting on the three foreground flowers. Could have used just a bit more painting on the purple flower, which fades into the background just a tad too much, imo.
Very nice. Great color. My only criticism is the two purple flowers in the back. Maybe a little too dark for the photo. Some nice lavender, or red may have been better. Much better than anything I have ever done though, so take it as you may. 9........... Update: After completion of the voting, this is my favorite photo in the competition, by far. My pick for the blue.
