I had to go back a few times because the red just kept getting blown out. Based on the settings in Lightroom, I actually dialed DOWN the Vibrance and Saturation into negative territory.
I did some noise reduction on the BG in PS, and sharpened the flower.
I tried to get the green part of the flower and the water drop on the petal in the same DOF plane....

I like this one a lot, the change of the tones in the reds from outer petal to inner is super.

Hi Al,
I had a little room to move the crop a little....to get the green center closer to the intersection....
Thanks for the suggestion - I knew there was something that was bothering me, and I think the re-post will be stronger:
