The reason I thought "Vibrance" is that the sky and background do not seem to be over-saturated, just the flowers. You might try converting again with another preset. I don't use LR so can't make a specific suggestion. For ACR, I use a custom setting for my K5 but for defaults I like either "Bright" or "Landscape" to start and then tweek as needed. The "Vibrant" setting tends to over-boost the reds like what you are seeing here.
I know you are trying to avoid adjustments and corrections but this is a pretty simple fix with a couple of sliders. Just bring down Vibrance or use the individual color channels in Saturation to dial back the reds and greens a bit.
I think I selected Portrait mode a long time ago and forgot to change it back. Since I shoot in RAW, I didn't think it mattered. I'm not trying to avoid making adjustments. I just wanted to post the originals without processing to see if you all also saw the reds looking over-saturated. Not sure if it's just the laptop screen I'm using.

BTW minus the minor color issues;they are a good start to some photographs. I also could not help but notice the longer shadows in the posted pics. Could the color temp of items such as sky, enviromental, and also even time of day be effecting it as well?
I actually don't know how else to post pics other than linking them from my flickr page. Yeah the colors were definitely bright that day in person because it was a bright, clear day, but the photos seem more over-saturated.
Originally posted by kcobain1992 In the "Develop" settings, at the bottom, switch the camera profile from "Adobe standard" to "Embedded".
I'm looking but can't find what you're referring to. Is it under Camera Calibration in the "Develop" module?
Originally posted by Anvh Have you moved the clarity slider?
Originally posted by mrjamesabels Reds seem to get over saturated. Pull down a lil saturation on red slider.
I've messed around in processing with the saturation and clarity sliders, among others. I just wanted to post the pics "as is" because I'm curious if this is a K5 issue (requiring a lot of post-processing for bright reds).
