very well post-processed

the blurred out background made the flower stand out!

62 years ago today purple blue spots appeared on the skin many people of Hiroshima...signs of poisoning of the blood - they were suffereing from leukemia due ot the radiation of the A-bomb... one famous girl by the name of Sadako Sasaki had these purplish spots ten years after the A-bomb was dropped... she eventually died of it but not before she folded a thousand paper cranes in a wish to get well again... and so today in some parts of Asia when you wish someone will get well sometimes people fold them a thousand paper cranes...

Hi Josh,

You have a lovely shot with great depth of field. A good base image to start working on. As you have asked for PS tips, here's my suggestions.....

I would adjust the levels a bit to the left to give the shot a tiny bit more saturation, give the image a small bump in the 'S' curves to make the colour 'pop', but not so much as to make it took un natural, crop the flower in tighter and turn it into a vertical image and run a light vignette around the edge to stop the eye from straying over to the lighter coloured corners in the shot. That should bring a lot more impact to the subject of the photograph.

In camera (always good to have a good base image) I would have set your 400D at 100iso (the 400D can be quite 'noisy' at 400iso, imho), and taken several different compositions. Really work the subject. This is not a critisism, however, the composition is quite boring, unless you were going for the subject right in the centre of target look and that was your intention.
Try shooting left of screen, right of screen, vertically, from down low, from up high, from square on and see which looks the best when you get home. CF cards hold a lot, so shoot away and protect those cards like they are the Crown Jewels yourself until you get home and down load and back up your images.

Take on board what information is helpful and trash the rest.
