The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
Searching my archive I have found flower photos that I have never posted. Now I process these photographies in a different way, I don’t touch the colors but I only raise an lower the shades and ligths. Working in Raw and Photoshop with a good light the natural colors seem to change their natural appearence while working only for lowering and raising slowly and gradually the natural light come out shades of colors, saturations and lights often different, particular. I think that these are the natural colors captured with the light if we don’t change them.
This familiar picture of buttercups is processed along this line.

Firstly, I really like this image, Giuseppe. Second, I like your approach to processing. I do tend to play with saturation a bit as well, but I think adjusting just the tones as one would treat a black and white image is a great approach. Although, if there’s something else that I think should be tweaked after that, I’d reserve the right to do so!
Gigi: Oh this is fine! Love the lighting and colors and the subjects. I might be tempted to make the stems go away but they do work OK for me as is. Marvelous work. Meraviglioso! >=))>
Unlike film, with digital capture colors are much more ephemeral, even with the best profiles and WB matched to the light. I don’t hesitate to change them if needed or desired. Even if you hold up the flower beside the monitor right after photographing it, you can never exactly capture the same look. So I say just try to capture the magic – which you have certainly done here!
@Dennis_Plank, @Bill_Fach, @Diane_Miller, @SandyR-B I am very very glad that you like so mauch this image also because is the first time that I post a photo processed in my new way. All the colors you see come directly from the light captured by the sensor as I didn’t touched any color in the process neither their saturation nor shadow nor light, not even the WB and the profile is Adobe Standard. I only search them carefully in the light.
Thanks again.
