I love pansies. Those are unusual color combinations for pansies, at least up here in this area. We typically see the purple and yellow/yellow with purple or pink and white/purple and white combos. Curious if you changed the colors at all in post with this one?

Pansies rock, I'm a big fan of those little flowers. I was surprised by the colors as well. Some of them were more pastel than not and I hadn't seen those colors before either. I composed shots in that location over a couple day period and discovered some fantastic subjects (especially some of the wet ones).
