Hey, nice pic, sharp and nice colours, although I would crop the bit off the right hand side to focus on the main two tulips and just my opinion maybe clean up some BG bits n make them colours stand out a lil more.

hope you dont mind. just done it quick

I like the crop, how did you clean BG?
When I look on that pic in raw( Nikon view) the colours are nice and vibrant, but then in cs4 they sort off fade. Can't really get them back with out messing up the BG.

I put the exposure (CS4 btw), Gamma correction down to 93 ish, and bumped up the vibrance and saturation.

for the BG I just used the clone tool and then the blur tool over that area to blend it in a bit more.

Thank you for C&C and advice, it's much appreciated

That might be an issue of colour space. If the chosen colour space in your RAW editor is optimised for print, it will not look as good on the web. I don't know much more about this as I only just found out about it. But it does explain why the colours sometimes look different in different software apps.

On my D100 I can choose several different colour spaces for shooting in.

When I open a JPEG in GIMP it gives me the option to change the colour space. (I use NikonView as well and never found any colour space info, but haven't looked hard)

Hope this helps

Aha - found it. In NikonView... Edit > Options > Colour management lets you change to sRGB when you save to jpg. That should make your files look more similar on the web if you are shooting in Adobe colour space (which is optimised for printing).
