Sturts Desert Pea, Melbourne Zoo

An unusual image to come out of a day at the zoo (it's so dangerous it needs to be kept behind 400,000 volt electric fence and requires human sacrifices to feed it ;-)) but a good image IMO nevertheless. It was quite challenging to capture the vibrant red of the flower without blowing the red channel, but I think this pic does a good job at it.

No, HDR wouldn't be useful for this scene --Fir0002 23:09, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
If you lowered the red channel in other areas then the red on the flowers would be "redder" relative to the rest of the image and you can get more red in the image without blowing it out. HDR doesn't necessarily have to be for brightness, the same principle applies to colors too --frothT C 03:16, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
