It is a tad to bright and a tiny bit soft. I lvoe your presentaion. Nicely done. Close ups like this are very difficult to get the lighting right. Keep playing and before you know it one will come out perfect.

thanks evelyn....

this is a white bloom.....it's a night blooming cereus i have owned for years.....all the off the wall colors come from me scavenging about for light sources.....there's a flourescent camping light that i was holding just off camera...i figure that's where all the blue comes from....

post processing......jeeze, i forget more and more as i get older...i dodged out quite a bit of the background.....toyed with levels,.......usm... a duplicate layer using a glowing edge filter at a reduced opacity....another duplicate of the background layer set to overlay blend mode.....

i think that's about it.....
