The flower itself looks like it’s not in focus. Also the yellows look overexposed – there is a loss of detail on the petals, the highlights on the petal tips are overexposed as well (flash?). The flower afficionados will probably point out that it’s an imperfect specimen too with one petal torn in half. You might get more responses if you imbed the image in the post rather than having to click on the thumbnail.
Hi Noel,
I just checked the photo’s exif data, it seems we have the same camera.
I think you can get a lot better out of the camera, although I do find the autofocus to be a bit hit and miss, especially when taking shots of flowers with a shallow depth of field.As Goosebanker says, it is not in focus and and yellow seems to be over-saturated.
I always have my display set to show the 3 RGB histograms on the display to check for over-exposure which my be causing your problem with the yellow, if one or more channel is blown out.But the focus problem is the one you should worry about first. In the “image browser” software that comes with the camera you can check where exactly the camera was focussing, nothing seems to be in focus it the shot. Do you use single point auto-focus?

Hi Noel,
As previously said the flower is out of focus and I find it difficult
to look at.
I can’t imagine you purposely had it this way.
I find that setting the lens (if this is possible) to manual focus for this
type of shot is more dependable.
It is possible for AF to work but the flower isn’t going anywhere so why chance it.I agree that the flower is not in great condition.
I know it sounds cliched to point this out but I find myself distracted by the imperfections
rather than looking at the flower.
The intention, of course, may have been to show a flower in this condition.I know I’m carping on (I have suggested it to you on your other threads) but
Goosebanker’s suggestion re embedding is a good one.
When I viewed you images first time they took so long to load I got fed up waiting
and moved on.
I promise not to mention it again.John.
