Image of a columbine flower in my yard, taken right before dusk on a cloudy day.

saturation, levels, shadows, brightness before conversion from RAW
A little spot editing
There are two groups of 5 petals.
I took about 100 images and this one captured my attention. It reminded me a child doing a cartwheel. Thanks for looking!

Interesting flower. Wish the stamens were a little sharper. Background is a bit distracting. Nice color.

A stupedously well cropped photo!! Each of the petals reaches almost the EXACT same place to the edge of the image. Great focus on the flower and the colors look wonderful. The background really helps the flower to stand out and provides some good shadows. Great lighting and a great shot. Bumping up!

there we go! The focus is on the petals. Good depth. Interesting flower. Probably the best single flower pic I've seen today. Could use a tad more saturation in the yellow.
