This is a very complex subject. Your camera and lens faithfully record the image and the imaging time is fine, such that glare is minimal. Your digital camera sensor does not record what you actually see and your TV monitor and printer record colors differently. Also the sensor under records the saturation or richness of colors (deep blue of Deronda) and this needs to be corrected in photo editing. Your computer, monitor and printer all work in different languages. This is not a problem for most computer functions, but for color photography, these components need to be calibrated, so colors are accurately represented, otherwise you must make color correction adjustments while photo editing. The test, of course, is to take the print out and compare it with the actual flower. This is why we have so many problems with images from various sources, including COTW.

I think this looks like a reliable color on The President, and all I did was point and shoot (using the macro setting)

Uh oh.
I think I must have that clem mis-labelled.
Hmmm....Anybody know who my The President really is?
As I said the picture is quite accurate, but looking at other pictures I see that it's not TP.

Nope, it is not TP. :) sorry, don't know who it is.

Thanks and Darn....

The technology on that camera is ancient at this point. You'd be amazed at what a difference a mediocre affordable digital camera would make.

I recommend checking amazon, good prices and reviews. You could also check their daily lightning deals for incredible savings.

I'm sure you'll find something in any price range.

Just my opinion, I'm kind of a techy.
