  2. Beautiful! I like the composition, but I'm not sure about the color...it looks sort of burned or oversaturated a little bit?? I'm also having difficulties with capturing this particular color...I love hibiscus flowers:)

    1. Yes, you're right. I definitely blew the red channel here. I knew it when I took it, but I was taking a walk with the family and wasn't going to hold everyone else back while I tried to fix it. It was also pretty early in the evening and the sun was still pretty high/bright, so I'm not sure I could have done anything about it other than wait until softer light (or maybe purposefully underexpose). Everything I have read says the red channel is very easy to blow. I think it has to with red reflecting more light than other colors.

  3. Huh, no critique here, I just think it looks awesome! I have a hard time getting flowers in focus the way I want, so this one looks good to me! I like the light shining through.
