I think I would have possibly cropped in a little closer to get rid of the green edges on the upper right, and lower bottom. They are just a little distracting.

Overall, I really like this. I do think there is a slight disjoint between what the processing has done to the flower center, compared to the effects on the petals. The petals have been enhanced, but remain "realistic," in that they hold their shape and edge sharpness. The flower center is more "Daliesque." I would like to see less extreme effect on the center, but this is an eye-catching image, as presented.

Beautiful image. I think a little tighter crop would work well.

I like this as posted and would also like it with a tighter crop. I understand the comment about the difference in filter application between the center and the petals, and I think a more even application would also be beautiful, but, again, I do like this a lot as posted. The colors and light are beautiful.
