I have no idea what it is either but it's a very interesting flower!
I really like this, Jon. :)
If it were mine, I'd clone out the leaf that runs to the ULC and would tone down some of the highlights on the shiny flower. I think maybe I'd also crop a little from the left and from the bottom.

Hey Jonanthan,
I have no idea what it is either! I think yo handled the light pretty well but as Ken mentioned.....taming a few of the highlights will also help. I know you aren't a big fan of digital removal....but in this case I would have to agree with Ken on the leaf too. If it was yours an in the field groom would have been in order! Even with the suggested tweaks this was very well handled and composed nicely against a very complimentary BG!
PS Believe it or not....I'm OK with crop as presented but see why Ken would prefer to take it a bit more off center.....either will and nice luxury to have.
