Wonderful image.Technically an excellent shot revealing super details and texture in the bloom. The background is fabulous as it adds those 'over-the-top' finishing touches. Good luck in the contest!

Very pretty flower and tech skills in PS to produce this work of art. I love the yellow stamens that Add color and interest in a contrasting color. It looks like a bridal bouquet made of one single flower. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel
Fantastic composition, lovely arranged with the perfect color range and shades - a very decorative flower presentation, the flower if self is perfect in focus, exposure and sharpness - the center pistils are like star dancers cheering the entire scene up - beautiful softness - the fragile elements you added are perfect - the background excellent in color tones and lighting , a very harmonious creation, again a master piece of beauty and elegance
