This was taken during the day, but I increased the contrast to such a degree that it looks like night. (It was really an accident that turned happy!) I darkened the background a little to add to the effect. The color levels are straight from the camera.

I ran it through neat image twice and resized it.

a really interesting shot, good lighting to create the shadows within the bloom, it does seem to me at least to resemble something from another planet.

Unusual viewpoint. Good clarity and sharpness; colors seem muted but probably intentionally when referring to the title. Composition is a bit cramped; would like to not have the edges of the petals chopped off by the edge of the frame.
