Seeing Red - Chinese Lantern Flower
I didn't realize how difficult it is to find a "red" flower! I spent a couple of hours walking around the LA Arboretum today (got some nice bird shots), and finally as I was leaving I found this Chinese Lantern Flower by the exit. It was in partial sun, tried different settings and finally got the right color (closest to original) by EV -0.66, and Center Meter setting. No PP, just cropped and resized.
Now I have to say, it looks nice and vivid on my large monitor but rather washed out looking on my laptop....
