Nice shot. I agree with KenC about cropping a little off the top. Just a general observation about flower photography: Years ago a friend of mine who was a master at image correction for a major printer in NYC noticed some lobelia I had growing along my driveway. I always admired the intense purple of the flowers. He observed, "That's not reproducible in a photo; too much ultra violet is coming off the flower, which makes the impact so great when you see it."
I do prefer this one. I still think a little off the top would focus my interest more on the center of the flower, but that is where I think the action is.
Just wanted to add that I can only comment on how I like the image - not on how close it comes to the original flower. That would be like people who praise portraits from the 16th century because they "really catch the character of the person." To which I always reply, at least in my mind, "How do you know that?"I do prefer this one. I still think a little off the top would focus my interest more on the center of the flower, but that is where I think the action is.

The last one is my favorite. What a lot of drama!I do prefer this one. I still think a little off the top would focus my interest more on the center of the flower, but that is where I think the action is.

The first one more so. They were very vibrant flowers. I didn't edit the color at all in the first one. Just bumped the clarity, lowered the highlights a tad. On the second one which was taken an hour later had different sun, I did the same and lowered the saturation. White balance was auto on both, probably should have been set to sunlight but still the color was pretty accurate on the point and shoot. So currently, the second one is best representation of color.How is this? and another pic of it from a different angle and light.
A question for my own curiosity. Which of the four color variations you presented matches the actual colors of the flower?
