We had a nice late season dusting of snow and happened to look out my window and see our snowdrops covered with a dusting of now. Things were melting quickly so i grabbed what was handy and ran out to shoot. This is actually a HDR stack with mild processing but I cant seem to get the flower to really pop and separate from the background. Thoughts, feelings or suggestions please. I would really appreciate some input on processing and shooting here.

The thing i found with HDR is that background has to be in contrast with foreground so it pops out.
I also have problem having very strong foreground with HDR if there is no contrasty color in the back.
But then again i am pretty new at photography

.

The picture is still pretty neat tho! its a relaxing sight.
