hehe, Nah, you just have to give it 24 to 48 hours.

I like it. It's a good shot.

My critique would be to give it a smaller aperture (bigger number) so that more of the petals are in the DOF range. Either that or focus on the inner-bottom of the flower if you want the petal tips DOF blurred like that. I would also run it through two levels of sharpening to bring out those wonderful flower/plant vein textures.

Excellent framing, good exposure, interesting subject.

Keep them coming! And thanks for sharing!
