 Plumeria on Kamaole II beach in Maui...
Levels
Saturation
Layer with golden color set at 5% opacity
Spot editing to remove sand from the flowers and blurred out boat on horizon
Dodging and Burning

This was absolutely hilarious to watch me shoot... set up flowers, wait for wave... big wave... quick, shoot and move before wave takes out camera! Thankfully... no one else had a camera to document the challenge!
Aloha!

Back for comments. This is a beautiful picture. Very well done. I love the DOF and the background is breathtaking. The hint of mountain combined with the beach. The yellow in the flowers flows nicely with the browns of the beach. 9 from me.

I love the setting. Much more appeal than a macro shot of the inside of a flower.

Unique shot in this composition. I just wished I could sick my feet in that sand right now. Nice shot.

I like that you found sand that was perfectly smooth. Excellent attention to detail! Nice composition mirroring the suggestion of mountains in the background.

6 - Nice scene/concept. Overall (and apologies in advance if wrong) looks 'tilted' and like it needs a nudge rotate up on the left to straighten it. a bit more detail/focus in the petals, as seems to be on the sand just in front of it, as well as (difficult) more control of the whites, make this even better in my opinion.

The flowers are beautifully photographed. I think the image would work even better, though, if the horizon weren't tilted.
