I might darken the bright vertical near top center a little Richard but nothing to suggest otherwise. Interesting subject and an appealing color palette - at least for my tastes.

The whites of the wildflower stand out beautifully against the blue OOF BG, Richard. My only suggestion would be to clone out those two petals on either side of the stem. Still wonderful as is. How was your trip to Alaska?

Richard:
Lovely white flowers nicely captured against the dark blue bg. The white petals near the lower border is a little distracting - may be worth removing.
