A montage (overlay of two images - one in focus and one completely out of focus to provide the "halo" around the blossom). Slightly larger than life size macro.
A bit windy. Cranked the ISO up to 800 in order to get a movement freezing shutter speed.
Post processed using Nik's Color Efex Pro 3 Lighten/Darken Center filter.
It's spring (almost) and nature photographer's minds turn to getting out of the house and finding spring color.
