Nice flowers - has an 'English look' to it, though!

They definately are vivid flowers, and you turned the saturation down. Flowers are always so beautiful and you have presented them well in your pretty compositin.

I prefer understated colours too Roger, and I agreed with you that a while back there was a period UF had a lot of landscape photographers who pumped up the saturation button - that's probably due to the reaction of in photoshop 'one can' so 'one does'.
As for film base saturation, I'm probably out of my depth here - I recall sometime back when Velvia first lunched the Velvia 100, due to the keen rush to try the new speed of this famous film there was none on the market. I got stock from Tokyo and was told that the 100 is a lot stronger in colour for the internal market then export versions. The boxes were clearly marked 100'F'. Up till then, it had not crossed my mind that different countries had different requirments where film is concern.
PS - Thank you for the nice comment you left me. I'll soon upload (when I find it!)a snap from Tokyo for you :)

I didn't know that, Audrey, Indeed I thought it would have been the reverse. I understood that Nikon is more or less holding its own with Canon inside Japan because fewer Japanese like the higher saturation of the Canons... I even read rather "putting down" comments about furriners prefering gaudy colors and Japanese prefering more "natural" ones, which was certainly how it struck me when I first encountered Usefilm. Everything looked so grossly oversaturated to me! This furriner stands with those who prefer understated rather than overblown colours.

Hello Roger, Don't know how much you cropped from the original, what's left here is still a near perfect frame. The flower colours are indeed rich but not so over staurated as to look bumped up.
(I wonder if you know that some colour films made for marketing within Japan are of higher saturation then the export versions? Apparently Japanese photographers perfect colours to be slightly richer. Just a bit of useles information:)

If you have turned the saturation down for this, I can imagine they must have the most vivid colours! Some flowers are really incredibly beautiful.... Colours that only Nature can create.
Thanks for sharing. :-)

Thanks, Marcia, I really appreciate your comments. Can you believe that I turned the saturation DOWN for this photo? I think the colours are the most vivid I have captured recently, along with the orange flowers you also kindly commented on. The place where I have my films developed replaced their chemicals recently, and it shows!
