What a bright and beautiful reminder of spring/summer. (Still winter here....). I like how the edges stand out and the petunias seem to almost be dancing. Great colors. Very uplifting.
A small suggestion- perhaps clone out/tone down the bright white just behind the petunia in the foreground. A little distracting to me. Perhaps crop a bit off the right as well.

Hope you take this with a grain of salt! People always see things differently.

Compared to the version you posted in the Flora & Macro Gallery, I feel this is the better of the two. I like the vivid color, sharpness, and detail you achieved, particularly in the foreground blossoms. Good composition too and nice positioning of the foreground blossoms within the frame. The color in the background is quite attractive and sets off the primary blossoms very nicely. Overall, a nice job. I'm seeing a slight halo around the two primary blossoms which may be related to sharpening. Would you mind sharing with us the software and techniques you used to achieve these result? Thanks.

Beautiful! The blooms pop out of the frame almost with this 3-D look!

Gorgeous. Did you use some type of filter in post to enhance the surface line details? Love the background too.
