Very cool Roy! I need to get a macro, but I don't think I have the patience.
I like this a lot!

Thanks for the detailed info, Roy. Very generous of you!
In terms of your second, yellower, version, I still like the original best. It has a delicacy and a naturalness that seems more accessible to me.
When making my original comment, I did not realize that this was a 3 sec exposure. Nice work!!

Mary sue, the only post-processing I did was to bump the levels up about 0.65 stops. I did essentially no post-processing. I believe the softness is partly from the camera, partly from the lens being at F/32, and partly from a tiny bit of natural motion/vibration during the 3s exposure. I even forgot to change the white balance from auto to cloudy! The image inline in the comments is with +0.05 post-processing exposure (+0.6 stop exposure compensation in camera) and set to cloudy white balance, and closely resembles the original saturation of the flower.

This would be a great slide, as the projected image would certainly jump off the screen at the viewer.

Maybe a bit yellower? :)

It's certainly fits the title. I would like to see the center a bit sharper, and maybe 10-15% darker just to retain some more detail in the highlights.

Reminds me of a buttery sunny-side-up egg! The softness adds a dreamy quality to this image and the framing works well.
What kind of post-processing did you do, if any? It has a painterly quality that is mesmerizing.
