Simply gorgeous, George. Colour and detail is wonderful. On Blurb printing: I've only done a couple of books. Mark would have more to say, I'm sure. But I can say this: watch out for out-of-gamut and overly saturated colours. That caution may even be applicable to this very image.
In a 120 page book of flower shots I did, only one image suffered really badly; in a few others minor clipping was detectable. In the bad one it looked like the printer gave up and splatted ink in a big blob where the flower should be. Your screen can display a colour and tone range that the printer cannot represent. You need to be sure of your black and white points (Lightroom takes care of this, I'm told). You also need to do soft-proofing on-screen (hopefully with a calibrated monitor). Finally you should be prepared to buy at least one test book to examine. But overall, Blurb's print quality is better than I expected.
