Taken from the Garden, only lasts a few days then thats it for a year. Anyway how could this be improved, so far only a few tweaks with the Pentax (silkypix) raw software.

Very pretty flowers. I, personally, have terrible trouble with yellows. If you get the exposure "right" you seem to loose all the detail in the yellow petals but if you bring the yellow down a little you get the detail but more orangey yellows. I don't know what the answer is. Shoot Fuji Velvia probably...

Could you have moved the big brown thing in the background cutting across the image? It might help, or it might not!

Best wishes, Kris.

The brown streak in the background is a Honeysuckle stem/trunk. Now you mention it, it is a bit distracting. Guess i'll have to wait another year to photograph them now with a better backdrop.

It isn't that distracting, but it might be a little better without it. Beautifully delicate looking flowers. I have been vainly waiting for spare time and no wind to coincide this year. Every time I walk out the door a breeze starts up!
