A little bit of "cliche" but oh well, no time to look for something else.
Cropped a little to center the yellow bud and to include the out of focus flower on the bottom, and then rotated 90 degrees to the right. Cloned out a lot of tiny white specs on the leaves. Auto contrast. Curves. Channel mixer to give the leaves a more vibrant color. Neatimage. Resize to 640x??. USM (1.0 pixel). Save for the web at 86% quality.

Great shot! very good separation of the flower from the background, great use of color. Love the flower in the corner too, makes a nice accent to the shot, I think.
The focus seems right on, however the chosen composition doesn't seem to work, the image is very static. Zooming in and filling the frame with the flower may have worked better. 4
Very nice flower - one of too many in the challenge. The repeated shape in the bottom right corner is terrific. Colors are a dream and work especially well together,
