hoverfly on flower

I’m not an expert on insects nor flowers, but this one I encountered during a walk with the dog.
I’m playing around with DT 5.2.0. I tried to keep as much detail in the flower.

The d700 ith my old (1990 MicroNikkor) starts to show its age compared to modern cams

I’m looking forward to your take

Attempt with DT (AgX). I prefer this version. What about you?

I like the popping background a bit more. Maybe apply a blur to the background to mitigate the ‘busy’ bokeh

I tried to bring some life in the background. For me it was way too uniform. If you don’t want it that lively (or busy :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:). You can switch of the third local contrast layer. I introduced it just for that reason.

Maybe this is more to your liking:
Softened the background a bit, went nearer and tried to make it all a bit brighter without loosing details.
