Just was playing around with some summer images, when I ran across this dalmation toadflax image. It is a 20+ stack of images to acquire this depth of field.
However, the additional editing to create a glow to the flowers and make them stand apart more from the background was created using Nik's low key and cross processing filters.

Like the angle that you chose and the nice clean background. Brilliant colors and good dof of this unusual flower. Well done.

Excellent detail. The flowers have a three dimensional look. Well taken and processed.

Fine detail in the flowers. I like the way the flower stands out from the background.

Wow, that's fantastic detail with your stack. Never tried the Nik filters, but it this is significantly different from the original stacked image, this shot would be a great adverizement for Nik! As close to perfect as it gets IMHO in technical terms. My only nit is that the comp is a bit too tight for my taste, but that's just an individual preference.
