This is just a normal white Bradford Pear flower and I did nothing in PP to drastically change the colors. I thought I'd see what what it would look like backlit with the LED flashlight. Weird, huh?

I like the colors and the dark stems (for lack of a better word). I would crop this a lot from the left side, and on the bottom, to exclude some of the bg, and also crop a small bit off the top. Nice shot Ken.

So this is more like white-balance issue ? :)
Unlike Charissa, I would crop from the right :D:D

Pretty cool, Ken! And unlike Charissa and Desmond, I would only take a small slice off the top (to take off the top of the petals since they are also cut off on the right and bottom.) I like seeing the stem in the LLC and a bit of room on the right. So...three different opinions...you gotta love BPN!

LOL! :)
I think the unusual flower color happened because unlike previous shots using the LED, this one had a natural BG so the camera was trying to deal with 2 totally different types of light. The BG looks pretty close to what it should look like.

Beautiful shot, Ken. I like the colors and the DOF. I love the square and would not crop anything - if at all, only a bit at the top.

This is beautiful Ken! Love the blue and the black. Agree with Jules on only a small slice from the top.:)
