 Macro shot of a flowering bud. The plant looks similar to a Delicious Monster (Monstera Deliciosa) but I can't find the real name for it.

Cat the bud off and held it through a hole in white paper. Double difused flash.
Open Raw, increase exposure and adjust curves, export to CS3, adjust shadows / highlights and sharpen, resize and SFW.

Note to self... always edit on a better monitor. This was done on a uncalibrated laptop and I am sad to see how this was edited on a better screen...

I'm going to kick your butt and you know why. Gave this a 6 and you threw away a potential top 10.

Good composition, and good colours, you could just whiten a bit more the whites, they look a bit pale.

The lighting could be better. I like the perspective. Bottom area distracting.
