795030 for me. The saturation is a little high, but it flatters the azalea. There's no clipping, which often happens with flowers. The black and white would be suitable if your goal was to emphasize form and structure. Nice composition.

I like number one the best. It is lovely. :)

I know you're just interested in which version people prefer, and I and really hate to give unsolicited feedback . . . but I'm going to burst (figuratively) if I don't point out something that I'm seeing.

It looks like your CA reduction went a bit goofy. With the pinks and greens photos like this can be a nightmare to do CA reduction on. In removing the pink/purple and green CA it creeps into the subject because the subject is pink/purple and green. It isn't super obvious in the first photo, but it is really obvious in the second colour photo and the black and white one. The way to try to fix it is to reduce the radius or "amount" of correction applied, and really fine tune the colour of the CA.

The way I do it is to crank the radius/amount up all the way. Then I adjust the colour to just take out the CA hue. Sometimes it is a very narrow range of hues, and sometimes it is pretty broad. Once I have the hue narrowed down (or broadened), then I reduce the CA radius/amount until the CA just disappears. I may not be able to take it all out without losing some of the subject somewhere, so I might leave a little bit in to preserve the subject's colours. Depending on how distracting any remaining CA is, I might try to clone it out.

There can be further complications (and insanity) when the green and purple CA wind up containing some blue hues, as blue hues can turn up in both purple and green CA.

I now I've mentioned this before . . . CA has become the absolute bane of my photographic world (since purchasing my 85L). It drives me nuts to the point where it could potentially land me with a clinical OCD diagnosis.

You might not be able to completely sort it out (flowers and plants are the absolute worst to deal with, IMO), but you should be able to reduce the way it has creeped into the petals and leaves.

Thanks.. I'll see if I can redo it. I couldn't figure out how to fix it and after my eyes started bleeding I kind of just threw my hands up. :D
