Richard, technical issues aside, I think this is by far your best comp yet.

Thanks for your comments. What could I do about the web compression problem?

Great detail here, I like it.

Yea, I'll have to agree about the processing. Once you get it right (the processing) , you will have a real nice dynamic composition.

That is a beautiful flower, but I do agree that detail is being lost somewhere. It looks like some spots in the flowers are plugging in the green channel. Posting a link to a larger version, or a crop of the top half of the main flower should help detect if downsizing is the issue.
