Hello Marlis,
I very much like the composition so I played around a bit to bring out the flowers versus background a bit more. I used NeatImage to reduce the noise apparent in the BG, and at the same time sharpened a bit (the stems were a wee bit soft). Then I tried to increase saturation, but was not quite happy with the result. I went on and selectively changed colour by giving the shadows (BG) more blue, and the highlights (flowerpetals) more yellow (never used this function before, so I learned something new today). File size had increased by then so I had to copmress slightly. Hope you like the variation on your great picture!
Regards,
Gabi
