jiminy's right....a little exif goes a long way here....especially with this image....
knowing what your settings were could tell us better what oversaturated your color and how best to avoid it in the future.....i'm thinking it was that sun so bright and that your camera read for the entire scene and threw your flower into overdrive.....
and yes....crop out that shadow...
thanks for sharing.....i know that you're proud.....
peeper
