 Took this early in the morning so there was a fine layer of dew on the petals.
The flower appears a bit flat to me but I like how the petals glow.

There you go again teaching me new fancy wurds.
Take a look at this shot again in PS and add a bit of a warming filter to it - it has a way of turning the whites into more of a real white with less blue in it. Does wonders for grass / background foliage.

The dew on the petals adds a lovely sparkle to this flower. Did you use a curves adjustment on this? I find that seems to add graininess in the darker areas requiring a little digital noise removal after. I don't think the flower looks flat at all.

You captured this very well and brought out the dew nicely in pp. I think if you process the bg separately and give it a slight gaussian blur it would get rid of the grain in the bg which I think was a result of the processing you used to bring out the dew on the flowers petals this would be much nicer. You could even just take this one the way it is already processed and mask out the flower so you're just working on the bg it would work nicely. Beautiful catch with the morning light and dew.
