We had a big client party at work last night and we received a huge bouquet of some of the most beautiful flowers I have seen in years. I took my macro to work with me and snapped a few when the boss wasn't looking. :D
This one is pretty close to SOOC. I did a white balance correction in ACR & slight levels and curves adjustments in CS4. I also did a small crop and toned down two hot spots.

No, Denise, I didn't. On my 100mm macro at f3.5, this is how it turned out in camera. I think the overall "orton" look came about because of the office lighting mixed with a soft fill flash and a relatively slow shutter speed.
Nice image. I like the softness and "dreaminess" of the composition. Then only thing that bothers me is the UR corner. It looks like it needs something to fill in the corner.
