I like the flower - and feel it could possible stand alone by its own merit - IMO I find the PPwork overpowers such an unusual and beautiful flower.

Jack, I am sure you could do a much better job, showing a detailed study of the flower, but that wasn't what I was trying to convey
I achieved what I wanted, so am very happy with my image.
and I love the PP.

Okay, thank you for all the lovely replies xxxx
All the Post Processing was done in Lightroom 2.0. using one of my own Presets, it works best on lighter subjects that you want add drama too.
For those who are interested, here are the adjustments....
Temp and Tint +17
Exp -0.05
Recovery 15
Fill Light 40
Black 40
Brightness +45
Contrast +73
Clarity 15
Vibrance +40
Saturation -48
Split Toning
Highlights 60 &31
Balance +55
Shadows 55 & 0
Vignette
-100
Midpoint 20
Hope that helps xx

Sorry
If you do have Lightroom, and enter those values into the sliders, that is my Preset/Action I used, to get this result. Basically it involves, increasing the Blacks, and contrast, some Split toning, knocking back the Saturation.
