Ambient light, overcast day, tweaked color balance slightly to retain color as it looked to the naked eye, then cropped and resized for DP Challenge, all in PhotoShop.

I don't see the purple. Having said that, this is a great shot. I love the colours, the composition and the soft focus. It portrays an almost hypnotic uneasiness. I love it.
(Maybe the petals are purple and it did not come through in the photo)
Looks like a full res crop. Image appears grainy and out of focus. A bit lacking in the post processing department. Would've cropped a tad off the bottom but not much. Feels like a rushed attempt or unfinished snapshot of a work in progress.
