Nice shot.

Composition is good good, as are the colours. Not overly saturated, and in turn, not leading to any real noticeable degradation of overall image quality.


Caveats?

Dial back the sharpening.. some.

Or.. perhaps, if you are unaware.. the following sharpening method mitigates some of the issues that can crop up when sharpening an image (introduction of artifacts, et al):

"Selective Sharpening Using High Pass in Adobe Photoshop"

"The difference between high pass sharpening and most other methods of sharpening is that high pass sharpening does not actually adjust or change any pixels in your original image. Also, because high pass exists as a separate layer, you can adjust the layer's Opacity and Blending Modes to control the strength of sharpening over the entire image. You can then use masks to control where sharpening is applied within the image and to make localized changes in the strength of sharpening."

Cambridge in Color's website has a concise article on the various methods of sharpening, too, and what to look for/avoid:

"Guide to Image Sharpening"

Love the purple flower in the bokeh. Composition is super good...you are so lucky to be able to capture this! It looks like a painting.
