Nice! At first glance I thought you did capture it in mid-air:) Love the details here, the crispness of the subject, the bokeh of the rest. Did you do post processing on this shot? Posted 12 years ago

  It's all about the lighting, you know. I've added just a hint of contrast to enhance the colours.
  Here you can see more of the flower it is on, but it is a nice illusion.
