Purple in bright sun

Nice composition. With a little additional post processing to compensate for the desaturation of the bright sun this would be really lovely! Wish we were having some of your sun!

Yes, i think you just wanted to show how sunshine can take away the brilliant color......

Do you know what kind of flower on shot ? The background color suits the flowers very much. Nice job

What you're seeing is the 'character' of a late '50's early '60's Canon 35mm f2.8 lens. One of my favorite lenses to use on my Sony camera's.
They are some sort of daisy, but my wife wasn't sure which one when I asked her.

We call this flower, "African Daisy". https://www.shutterstock.com/search/african-daisy

However there may be different names in different locations. Quite often a geographically oriented names will change from place to place...

As an example, the dog breed we call "Australian Shepherd" has nothing to do with Australia. In fact in the U.K., it is generally called "American Shepherd".

"Chinese Fortune Cookies" are called "American Cookies" in China...

We call another dog, "Irish Setter" while in Ireland, it is known as the "Red Setter".

Regarding your statement that, "The background color suits the flowers very much."; my mother-in-law who was an artist used to say that most colors will go well with green since we are used to seeing green with most flowers of varied colors. The background of most flowers is green foliage.

This would have been a great image to use a diffuser with. Diffusers are quite cheap and come in a variety of sizes from around 12-inches to around 43-inches...

Thank you Richard, my wife thought they were African Daisy's but wasn't sure when I asked her.

I did a little work on the image, what do you all think of this version?

This edit looks better, Alan. The first one is too sun-induced that brought out the subtle coloring but this edit looks much better.

your edit keeps the bright sunlight but also some good color. Nicely saved!
