cineraria

had to take this very low-key in the processing, the camera just wasn't getting the vivid purple right, I tried every white balance setting but nothing seemed true to the colour. I had trouble with the red begonia too in January, is there a secret to photographing vivid colours?

Love these flowers!! The colour is really different I thought you might have tweeked it to get them this colour.

[Sandi]

your deep purples are so compelling!

@gratefulness thanks Sandi, I had to do a lot of tweaking but the flowers really were a deep purple, very intoxicating colour I agree

how fortunate that nature can create colors of which our cameras can only dream :) you made them turn out so nice :) late winter this year, still snow and ice here, loving the colorful floral pick-me-up :) ty
