New image in the wedding dress photoshop contest

I felt like doing something different with this one since everybody used it as it is in most of entries.
I reconstructed the lotus petals out of source image. Each petal has two layers, one blending mode normal, second one blending mode hard light to pop up natural shadows.
I merged all petals together, colored them slightly, added clouds backround in different positions and stars on top of all image. Added some sharpening, masked some parts of the stars so that they don\’t overwhelm the image and I added gradient adjustment layers and brightness and contrast.
