    I don't know the name of these little flowers. Taken at Longwood Gardens.
    The bokeh was in the original image. I did use a texture by Shadowhouse Creations.
    Basic adjustments including Topaz Detail and CEP Vignette Blur and Darken/Lighten Center
    I appreciate constructive comments

    I don't know what they are, either, but I like them. I like the image, too. Great color and outstanding composition. That bokeh adds a lot.

    Very nice -- the BG looks like water droplets in soft light. I wish that one leaf wasn't touching the left edge -- any more image over there? If not, some partial opacity cloning might minimize it.

    Thank you, Dennis and Diane. I did some cloning and darkening at Diane's suggestion (I don't have more space on that side, and adding canvas and cloning didn't look good).

    It's even better. Good suggestion, Diane, and good execution, Anita.

    Hi, Anita, the repost is perfect. I love the bokeh and the different shades of green.

    I love the bokeh, and nice job of minimizing the leaf. The flowers have an unusual texture to them, almost waxy. I was going to say they are Merry Bells, but not sure. The green and yellow is a nice combination. Nice work Anita!

    Interesting image, like the flower but wish it had a bit more varied color. Placement is perfect. Well done
