Apricots

As advertised, this is a closer shot of the plant I used for "Bells". Nice apricot petals with faint vein patterns and deep red centers.

This one feels over-saturated but when I dial back the saturation it looks flat and dull.

Not over-saturated to me. Good as is!

Mark:
The color is fine. I fine the center thick flower like these do not get enough light (relatively speaking compared to the peripheral) so the color looks rich from the 'underexposure'. Wonderful image.

Excelent soft-feel colors. Nicely composed.

I like this very much. It doesn't look over saturated on my monitor.
