Interesting subject and capture Heather, although we had more than our fare share of rain here on holiday yesterday, home in West Yorkshire is designated drought area:)
We have this same problem. Sorry for my remark, but could you please repeat this shot using an aperture of 2.8 and lowering the exposure -0.7 eV. Focus on that brown leaf in the center of the frame.
@haskar Thank you for these suggestions, Hanna. They are helpful. I couldn't repeat this shot today because it's quite overcast, but I will try again on a sunny day. Thank you.

Hope the drought lifts soon
