Found this tulip on the side of my house. I loved the color and the way it was opened.

Wonderful capture! I think the white BG looks good, but if you want it to look brighter, add a levels adjustment layer and slide the right one to the left till the BG is white like you want it. Then, use a layer mask to bring the orginial pink color back. #5922554
