Very pretty and I hadn't known there was an anemone other than under the 
sea.  I see your reflector plate has filled the shadows but couldn't 
help in preventing the blown edges.  I'll admit that I don't know the 
answer but I'm wondering if a soft diffuser between sun and flower might 
have given a better result.  I mean only the diffuser.  I'm sure a 
diffuser and reflector both would help tame the dynamic range but one 
only has so many hands without a couple of assistants.
