Thanks Kes . . . the lighting is natural . . . thin white center and VERY dark petals. Adjusting for the petals you lose the white (texture) . . . adjusting for the white you lose the petals (texture). The balance is VERY challenging but does make it look lit from within!

Hi Doyle.....I'm back again but I will limit the time I spend on the site in future. I had the tendency to fall behind with other things in my life.
This is a great floral macro with wonderful postwork effects my dear friend. The colours are awesome and the details superb. Well done to you on this excellent piece of creativity. 'See' you again soon....just buzzing around saying hello to everyone. My very best wishes to you as always my good friend......Ray:)

It does indeed appear to be a garden within a garden. Beautiful colors.
Another thought that came to my mind was that the top portion of the flower looks like the Northern Lights "Aurora Borealis". The way that the green is mixing with the blue.
Well others might not think so - but I do.

This inversion worked out really well. I especially like the pollen on the petals which look like pebbles on the floor of this cave in which these unusual figures/plants stand. Great alien landscape.

Mostly that's true . . . we're packed. I'm a guy . . . wouldn't bring a change of clothes. LoL! Here's a short primer for you:
LoL = laughing out loud
LMAO = LMBO = Laughing my Butt off (Or . . . well, you know)
IMHO = In my humble Opinion
IMO = In my Opinion
ICMU = I crack myself up
YCMU = you crack me up
POV = Point of View
DOF = Depth of field
There are likely others but these come to mind.
By the way it wasn't 'wierd' we were at the house at the same time . . . I followed you there. I follow people from picture to picture . . . often I find some great shots I might have otherwise missed that way! ;)
