Single Saxifrage - a photo on Flickriver

Single Saxifrage

            I decided to post the edited version of this pic here - hope you like it. This photo was taken at home in my back garden in June 2013. The original (just cropped) copy is early in my Photostream for comparison. 

The actual blossom was approximately 1cm across, and the shot was taken in brilliant sunshine with the sun flooding right to left. I used my trusty Nikon D3200 and a 35mm - f1.8 - prime lens. The shot was taken without flash and hand held as I wanted to frame the shot. I usually shoot Aperture Priority and it was the case on this day. I had locked the ISO at 200 to give plenty of pixel detail.

I had just received my new Nikon 35mm f1.8 "Prime" lens, and was keen to start practicing: especially with tight depth of focus and I was aiming for good Bokeh. The original capture was quite light, especially the greens. As I said earlier it was in taken in brilliant sunlight. So I used Adobe LightRoom to sharpen the image a little and darken the capture. Finally I added a very slight dark vignette to draw the eye to the subject. 

Please feel free to offer any constructive criticism - I'm always appreciative.
