The shot itself is lovely, Contas, but the colour looks quite strange on my monitor. Like a strong green tint. Is that deliberate?

Thanks Philber.
This image originally was reduced in color temperature on 23"Samsung, colors are balanced IMO.
I checked this image on Iphone4: green tint is found; checked on a borrowed Ipad 4: almost the same or a little below Samsung.I also have Ipad I, that's always the same my Iphone4 in color, so rarely use them for colors adjusting.Try see it on large monitor.
The color differences among monitors , sometime caused a big concern, that I experienced once.

Well, on my monitor, it is very green indeed, and it is quite unusual for me to mention something like this, so I don't think my system is unable to display colours properly. But the rest of up to you, of course. Let's see how others feel.

Great flower pictures from everyone.
Tri Tran - Really good for a hand held picture. I like the colors and contrast.
contas - It seems as there is some green cast - Philber is right
Two shots with Zeiss AS 2/135

Yes, you've made it warmer all right - but there's still a cast... maybe I'll download it and see if I can make a difference...

eno789, I like your second one.
contas, here are a couple of shots at it. The first was just auto-tone (in CS6), nothing else. For the second one, I played around with the sliders in image - adjustments - color balance, then raised the shadows just a couple percent, then raised the overall brightness a fair amount. I had a tough time trying to make it look the way I thought it should... I don't think I was entirely successful.

Edit: Now that I'm seeing them again, together, I don't like the purple in my second one in what looks like maybe dry grass in the background...

Thanks Ernie Aubert, I like the 1st one if not any cast.The 2nd one is hotter than the original.
Here is a version from DxO Pro7, just used cool filter and some small changes, but the process seem complicated and the size after cropped is 40MB- I think I'll do with it once or twice only.

The green cast is there, as I see it, Contas. And Ernie has been able to mitigate it, but not eliminate it completely IMHO. othing like photoe or Brian Zhou's pictures on the same page. BTW, nice shots, people!

Ronny, Brian, Harry, great work! People like you are the reason I don't most that much on this thread!
I have a question. One of the lenses I am using for flowers is my Leica Elmar 24mm f:3.8. I am always amazed at how well (I think) it is doing mounted on a Hawk's close-up adapter, and used at much closer distances than its design MFD.
Here is one example, 100% crop, strictly SOOC. distance to the flower, maybe 3-4 inches, essentially helicoid fully deployed.
What do you think?
