Great Photo, You might want to provide more information in the Macro section. I really like the light and color.

Phil, I posted this in share your shots because there is not much more information on this shot. I did use my Canon EF-S f2.8 60mm macro lens (awesome lens), it was hand held in full sunlight but I used my body as a diffuser. The only post processing was cropping out flower petals that distracted from the subject and a slight High Pass Sharpen on soft light. I have to thank mother nature because other than that the colors were not adjusted in PP.
