Another shot taken with the canon 40D. The settings are the default settings in the camera except for ISO, and WB. By editing the image, I ended up with this result. I have now changed some settings in the camera, sharpness, contrast etc. so will see what I come up with.

Yesterday, we had a terrible storm come through, and so many are without power in many counties, I was lucky this time, but we do have lots of big branches down, but now damage to anything.

Have a good day, and I hope others that were in the path of that storm came out okay. Thank you for commenting.

I usually just keep everything on default in the camera, and fix in editing. For me that's the easiest way. This is gorgeous, Sandi.

This is a beauty, Sandi. I think the lighting and the color is outstanding. Focus seems to me to crystal clear.
We had another series of severe storms come through last night.
Caused more power outages with more trees down.
I am glad you guys are okay !

You got that difficult colour so well Sandi and in that light the flower shines. We too had a 20 minutes severe thunderstorm yesterday. Looks like the somebody upset the Storm God.

Canon 40D? When did you get that? That's one of the best camera's Canon ever made. I still have mine. Great bloom. Would it be any better with a newer camera? I doubt it.

It is a really good photo Sandi. The colors are wonderful and so are contrasts and details.

It's a super capture, the way the light is hitting this beauty. Lovely color to this bloom.
