I guest what I like ot his picture is its almost 3D effect... What do you think?

Now, that is a flower. Or at least, a photo of a flower.

Beautiful rich colours, great detail and sharpness.

Great work.

almost 3D effect

Also love the green and yellow which complement each other. Not a fan of the bad petal in the bottom though which slighlt affects and weakens your composition.

I would also suggest you try to increase the exposure just a tad.

It is very nice and the colours are nice and rich. I'd be interested to know how you got so much texture in the petals - it's quite a striking look.

The photo was taken in JPG format for it is the only
format avialable in the Canon PowerShot SX30 IS. I
opened the image using Adobe RAW and I played with
the shadows and copied the image to Photoshop. In
this program, I adjusted the tone, contrast and colour.
Then I made a copy of the image using layers, changed
it to monocrochrome, and used the filter for Emboss.
Later I adjust the tranparency of the embossed layer.
I learned this technique in a photo mag because it was
better than using the sharpening filter.
