Hi Marta ,
I thought of doing this workshop the second i saw your photo and i hope you find it useful and interesting in its new appearance.
Here is what i have done :
Light up the whole scene with gamma correction (35percent+),contrast on the +,sharpened for details and contours keeping the noise down as much as possible,did some work or rather retouched by brightening and sharpening a tad more on the inside of the flower (particularly on the pistil) ,saturated the colors and added this frame (optional in most cases but i thought it would enhance your subject some more.I still think that the bright area to left should be left alone as it appears to be the source of the glow on the back of the petals. Now what do you think ?, well hope you like this post,
Carol
