We have many azaleas in our yard in a number of different colors but I have very few images of them that I'm happy with. One of the big challenges is busy backgrounds but I actually liked the way the Illustration mode rendered the BG here. All comments welcome. >=))>

Bill, your choice of flowers and composition works well. As to the background... well it is busy and has many highlights. Think I would darken the background to emphasize the flower even more. The illustration mode has nicely outlined the edges of the azalea which helps control the reds.

FYI there are three strengths to chose from in the illustration mode. Each produces a completely different effect.
