Carol, I can't tell if this is a manipulation or a perfect composition. What I do know for sure is that this is an exceptionally beautiful floral contribution. Regardless of the possibilities outlined by me above, it's a pleasure to watch your contribution. Once again excellently done!
Edit: Carol has sent me a PM: only some vignetting. So, my compliments for this perfect composition, 👍 !
If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins!

My eye was immediately drawn to this. The colors pop and and I spent a short while trying to decide if it had been cloned or manipulated. This a beautiful scene and the vignette just adds to the appeal.
