Had a lot of fun. I am such a fan of painting in little additional lights with exposure module lately.

I like lush backgrounds…
For me, the crop’s the thing. Also, added a bit of HSL saturation to the linear side of the toolchain:
darktable + spektrafilm module + camera vivid dcp profile + gimp
For me, it looks like that the over-exposure of the flower can only be rescued by manipulating the raw pixels and adjusting the demosaicing process.
Is this correct ?
And yes, I have not been able to do anything “decent” with this one…
The flower is not actually over exposed according to the raw overexposure indicator in DT. I too though it was over exposed initially but it appears not to be the case. I struggled with the colors in the flower and am not 100% happy with my result.

There is like a square pattern. Fairly noticable on the left petal. I don’t see it in any of the other images others posted. This edit is with your software?
Yep, rawproc. So, I cropped pretty aggressively, then I resized to 800 on the long side and output sharpened. That pretty well did it in. I removed the resize and sharpen, and that got rid of the pattern:
Went back and re-laid the individual tools; the resize of the already-small image put a faint notion of the pattern, and the sharpen gave it more definition. I’ll have to pick further at the interpolation going on in resize…
I love seeing “my little module” at play 
Incredibly natural looking rendition. Am I remembering correctly that you are using ansel?
Beautiful edit!
