The World Is So Kind and Generous * Traveller

Flowers are not Easy...Holding the reds down to a managable level while keeping everything else...was, problematic, as was getting rid of a very messy background. I know that this would be easy for most people here...for me, it was extremely difficult.

1/60s f/4.0 at 70.0mm iso200 with Flash full exif

Yeah why is it reds are so hard to capture? It's usually over saturated but not in this case even with flash. Nice work Mr. Traveller.

I know exactly what you mean. The reds are so easy to blow, and getting the saturation and brightness where you want without clipping them is often a real problem for me. This looks good, though. I can see detail in the reds even though they're bright. I think this IS a difficult shot to shoot and process. Jim H.
