Great color and detail; image pops; few distractions; could clone the little pink spot
Maker's notes:

This image was shot at the La Crosse Floral greenhouse. The original was shot in manual mode with my 18-135 mm zoom set to 126mm. I manually set ISO800, f/10 for depth of field, exposure of 1/80 second. The flower was lit with an LED ring light on the end of my lens. The creative technique was a plastic wrap filter in Elements 13, plus additional exposure and contrast adjustments
