Flower Portrat

[wrench]

Here is another picture I took yesterday and finished processing today. I'm starting to learn that an image that has been properly exposed needs very little tweaking in post processing!

Constructive criticism is always welcome!

Au contraire mon ami...as a photographer, you should know that there is a vast chasm between need
and want. As an example you could rotate the image, boost saturations in yellow and green and red.
Don't quit until you've explored other options.

Ok, let me see what I can do to boost the yellow, greens, and reds. I did boost the overall saturation by 1.

Nice flower with an interesting shape. I would like to see the colours after your edit

Ok, I was able to add a little more green to the picture, which was an improvement I think.

My RAW converter and editor is DPP. DPP has a RGB tab where I can adjust these colors independently, but not yellow. I tried adding red and green, but the image had a weird hue. I also tried boosting the saturation, but that didn't look right either. Finally, and by accident, I lowered the red and noticed that made the green and blue more vibrant.

Thoughts?

Edit: After looking at the original compared to my edited picture, I almost wonder if my white balance was askew in the original...
