    Obviously the male plant Tony :) - but a lovely image and good POV. I had a quick play and dropping the highlights made a big change. That's the only CC I have, so well done mate!

    Thanks very much for your awesome review and CC. You are correct about the highlights, however I failed to mention that this image is/was Straight Out Of Camera. I really am glad I got this 7d MkII as it does a wonderful job. The only issue I have with it is trying to figure out the
    complicate Auto-Focus features. With flowers it is somewhat cumbersome getting the proper focus feature employed. Thanks again and of
    course, cheers to you, Mate. :) Tony

    You're welcome. There are so many different settings for flowers Tony. For my best results, I like to shoot them in shade, Manual mode, f:8-11, 1/250th, Auto ISO. Focus, I use Expand AF Area:Surround or Manual Select.:Zone AF.

    Do you set White Balance for shade or Auto? Thanks again. Very much appreciated. Tony :)

    These are suggested settings only Tony but a good starting point. Red flowers in sunshine play havoc with image sensors especially when close up and covering a high percentage of the frame.
    Another good tip is to have the red flower smaller in the frame to allow other colours to be in the mix for metering - then crop the flower in post to get the framing you want.

    Very good advice and duly noted. I went out today in harsh sunlight and shot a few red, white and pink roses. I feel they turned out pretty good. I did use the "Faithful" feature in Picture Quality and got much better results color wise. Especially the reds. I will upload them soon.

    Muchas Gracias, Muchacho. :)

    All expermental Tony and lighting plays a big part in your settings. Faithful has zero sharpness, contrast and saturation so it's a good place to start. You can then set your own picture quality and save them in #1, #2 or #3. I look forward to your floral parade!
