Hey Denise,
You lost a bit of pop in the jpeg compression.......so I hope I didn't go overboard. Big thing was a crop and a lightening of the greens. I also used the dodge tool to lighten a bit of the tips. Let me know what you think!

Roman, I wasn't too sure about the crop-I tried about 15 different crops-I also opened up the greens but changed my mind! Go figure- Thanks for taking the time to help-much appreciated.

Like the original, love the repost. Those greens were too heavy for the light pinks in the first post but now they really anchor the image. Beautifully done, Denise. I can see why you had trouble with finding a crop, though! These flowers are huge and offer a ton of ways to show them off.
