Warm regards David!

I have to agree with Pierre. This is certainly an image that needs the color. You have done a nice job with both the lighting and composition. The saturation of the color is a bit surreal but works for me.

Thanks Mark, Pierre.

Yes, I did increase saturation to add some drama to the unique color pallet of the flower, although, to be honest,  I did not increase saturation all that much.  This flower was truly naturally brilliant in color.
