More info | May 22, 2008 14:01 | #8 It looks like the center flower and parts of the two next to it were in direct sunlight (also a few in the background). I think the color of the shaded flowers is richer. By comparison, the in-focus one looks washed out. Why don't you try to drop the exposure by 1/2 - 1 stop to see what you get? Joe

kirkt Cream of the Crop More info | May 22, 2008 20:25 | #9 I'm happy if I get a keeper or two - most of the time I just try to figure out where I went wrong. Thank you for taking my comment as satire- that was the intent. We've all been there- most more than a couple of times! Kirk

Thank you for taking my comment as satire- that was the intent. We've all been there- most more than a couple of times! No worries...it made me laugh... It's so frustrating to get the settings quite right. There's always something to tweak or adjust... -Pete

I always set the dial on 'P' and never worry again about settings.  I think your flower shot is beautiful. Central shots don't bother me when the subject is flowers. I think I might put that quote in my signature... -Pete

The prsent saturation is about the max saturation point for posting here. If you edit to make the screen appearance resemble the sharpness and saturation of the hard copy, it may not be widely accepted by some of the members.
