Richard, I never saw the first one, so had to go look before commenting. Excellent changes you made on this.

Yes sir, a masterful job. The backlit glow and revised BG really work well.

This does look so much stronger than the first, Richard. The dof and the lighting work really well together.

Excellent Richard! I really liked the first one, and where you took it with this repost is even better. The glow in the blossom's center steals the show in this version!

Hi Richard! Your repost has really improved an already nice photo. I agree with the other comments about the back-lit glow in the center. Nice job!

I love the glow to the center Richard. I think the changes have worked out well.

The added contrast help tremendously. I especially like the lines in the petals, they show up so nicely in the top three petals.

I liked the first image Richard but I do prefer this one. It's a beautiful image - deserves whatever attention you want to give it.

This has an "inner" light that makes it very special Richard, and the BG is perfect.
Have a great weekend!

Yep, that's it. Still has the mood, but easier on the eyes.
