Ooooooo, Pikkel... this photo tickles. lol. I love it! :)(:
Though, a little sharpness on the floral subject could help provide additional contrast, it's really nice as it is. |

| yes after further review I think I went a bit overboard on the color saturation of the yellow |

A lovely image and very nearly a great one. Reminds me of a butterfly.
I'd like to see your PP steps; I'd probably approach it a little differently - upping the exposure with a big ramp up in the black point to isolate it a little more from the background; with a final bit of highlight recovery to bring back the yellow, then sharpen to taste.
Having said all that, you may not have access to such tools and actually your image is still lovely. |

| This is so lovely. I think it qualifies as a portrait because it has such personality. |

The impact is striking immediately upon opening this image. The colors and post processing that you applied is very dramatic. I also like the border which compliments the blurriness of the image. I would, however, like to see a little more focus on the center of the flower.
Having taken a closer look at the center of the flower, I see that there are tell tale signs of extreme post processing in the yellow. I'm guessing that you selected that area and applied a lot of post processing to it. The edges of the selected area show up like a beacon. To avoid this, I suggest that you select an area that is larger than whan you want to enhance and then use the history brush in varying degrees of intensity to fade the transition from the rest of the image. If I am mistaken in my assumption, I aplogize. |
