Re: The challenge was to make it pop without a dark background
I am going to get intentional with keeping it light.Perhaps that should be making it light when it's right?

IMO you managed it Brian
I think your color balance is a bit on the red side and that's why the image has a muddy look although the flower stands out. I'm uploading an edit just to give you an idea. Please let me know if you don't like the edit, I will take it down immediately.

Don't you dare take it down. You managed to put in the subtlety that I missed. And you put more pop into the flower. Well done!

Re: The challenge was to make it pop without a dark background
That's a lovely flower and I like this image, as I would much rather see flowers in their natural environment, rather than over a black background. Something else you might consider is reducing the saturation of the background and slightly brightening the flower. E.g. A rough edit (although, of course, I don't know its actual appearance!):
Cheers.

Your edit looks good too. Originally Posted by MrB
