 Not a terribly imaginative entry but none of my other ideas worked out. The light's nice, anyway.

PP - tonemapped in qtpfsgui (pregamma 0.697, mantiuk method, contrast mapping 0.1, saturation factor 1.049, detail factor 1), added vignette and merged with original at 20% transparency, cropped, desaturated whites a bit, dodged/burnt centers of flowers, tinted one orange center to match others, cloned out a bit of leaf, blurred background more, resized, sharpened.

The harsh shadows really take away from this shot IMO.

The lighting in this picture gives the top right flower slightly more significance because it is illuminated better.
I still like this photo though. 6

Nice subjects and crop but the lighting is just not right. They either all needed to be in shadow or none.
