Moab Wildflowers

We got to spend 3 days in Moab. It's the first time I've been there in wildflower season and the wildflowers were gorgeous! Saw lots of globemallow, prince's plume, sage in flower, and primrose. Also saw paintbrush, mule's ears, yucca, and these gorgeous prickly pear blossoms.

Shot with a D200; removed dust spots; increased contrast with curves.

I'd love to hear any ideas for improvement.

Gorgeous indeed! Not sure there's much to improve; a slight desaturation (for the ground and the blooms) might be in order, but a small nit.

Thanks for sharing!

Very nice photo.

Great colorful image!!! Beautiful image Darlene!

Beautiful shot! This really gets me juiced for my trip to canyon country next week!

Thanks for sharing!

Purdy!
Looks almost neon.

Very nice, Darlene! Great collection of blooms. I like the inclusion of the sage in the upper left. I agree with Rick about the saturation. The sand looks a little too pink, too close to the bloom's color. I'd look at shifting the sand to the red/brown side and get more color contrast with the blooms.
This makes me want to head to the desert too!

Nice shot, D. I'd reduce the magenta a little bit, and maybe back off saturation on the cactus blossoms only, but that's it.

Darlene, I like the intimate landscape you captured. The overall color looks too magenta. The saturation looks a bit intense on the flowers and the cactii, so I'd back it off just a bit.
