Awesome shot, Sir!!! This is turning out to be my day for finding perfect wallpapers, thanks for posting one of them. 10/10 all the way on this. (Hadn't thought about nasturtiums in years...my father used to call them "nasty urchins"...hehehe)
After placing it on the black background I played around for ages with various filters and settings before finally deciding to leave it as nature intended. As you say, Tracy, lovely colours and I just couldn't improve on them.
I took the photo last summer in my back garden but the original background was very cluttered. I prefer it this way.

Great isolation from the background Matt! The edges would look better if they were softened a couple of pixels! The black really makes the color jump of the screen...good job:-)

Ever so gently around the outline of the flower with the blur tool. Just to soften the outline of the flower against the BG.:-) Not the whole fower if that is possible Matt. Maybe try the effect with a screen? Or, leave it as is, becuase it still looks very nice this way:-)
Love the bachground and the pedals are awesome. Never seen a flower captured with such sharpness and focus. These are beautiful and will grace my desktop for sure.
