Interesting thoughts @glenbrethsen, especially as these are the flowers natural colours with no filters added.
I have some other photographs on a bush with smaller flowers that looks even more artificial because the natural colours are so vibrant.
It didn't come out very well though as there is not enough contrast between each flower.
Yeah. I had to look at the photo a couple of times to realize that there wasn't anything else going on, just the colors of the flower itself and the lighting it was in. That's actually a nice natural effect in and of itself, just not what I would expect to see from a flower. I guess what's most interesting is that you basically have the same flower, but due to some coloring differences, it makes one look softer while the other is more vibrant. Things is, if I saw it with my own eyes and not through an image of it on a computer screen, would I notice such a difference?
Yeah. You'd definitely notice the difference @glenalbrethsen. The colours on the screen, at least on my screen, are a fairly accurate representation of the colours in real life. 😊
