Thanks for starting a Daily for us, Peter.
That is a remarkable photo. And thanks for including your write-up.
I would agree that removing the lamp post would be worthwhile.
Yesterday I mentioned SoCal's "May gray" and June gloom." Often the overcast skies in the mornings create a diffuse and very pleasing light for outdoor photography. Here's one I took 2 mornings ago and processed an hour ago. The light was terrific, no wind to cause blurring, and a nearly pristine rose, with an ideally placed drop of water. Everything was in place for a good photo - all I had to do was take care to not mess it up...
All I did in processing was: 1) crop for composition; 2) brighten some areas of the blossom; and 3) sharpen the light edges of some of the petals.
I'm pretty pleased with the result, but C&C is always welcome to help me make it a better photo

Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him!
