I took this earlier this year for my "New Life" series and loved how fresh the petals looked in the early stages especially the creamy colour centres before turning a bright blue a few days later.
In Photoshop, I isolated the flower, feathered the selection by 30 pixels, inverted the selection and darkened the background using Curves to make the flower stand out more, I then adjusted levels to add a little more contrast and finally cropped to suit. Hope you like it.

This is a lovely capture, wonderful detail. I can just imagine how spectacular this was when it was fully bloomed - the blue is intense.
