Ditto to Charlie, beautiful color and composition, and very fitting title.

Great shot! A very dreamy image. Have you played with cropping out the stem?

Sandy: Beautiful color palette and comp. I think I would clone away the stem rather than crop it so that you could retain the petal edge. >=))>

Beautiful, soft colors and a perfect composition called my attention to this image. I love softness of the image, and the clean yellow and pink tones. The focus on the center of the flower is well done... and the smooth focus-fade works perfectly.
The white background is perfect for such a delicate flower, too. I love it, Sandy! Well done!
