I like this too. What don't you like about it? My neighbor has these roses (in pink) and I sneak over there to get shots too LOL I usually do auto levels and that would brighten the petals. If auto levels sucks, then I do it manually :)

I think this is great exposure. I see no problems.

David, firstly thanks for posting your SOOTC original. This is what we need if we are going to work together to achieve predictably good exposure. Secondly I like the photo just as it is (and I have to say I love a quantitative girl!)

I agree with your analysis of the exposure. One of the things I like about this is that it has variety of exposure and good intense and well saturated colors. This will make it an intrinsicly more interesting photo. You can see it in the histogram with multiple spikes. And you can see the exposure bias (left shift) due to your use of a a micro-fibre gray card.

A fine job and a good model of good exposure.

Water isn't apparent enough (if present at all), although it might be in tiny droplets throughout the grass. Otherwise, I like the swirl of the grasses. Ducky could be have been tilted a little more forward. I'm nitpicking because I do like the picture so much (hated to see it fall short.)
