At first sight I really liked the color,shape and detail of this flower. Once I determined that I wanted to maintain as much naturalness of the image as possible, I resorted to using the camera's presets. I did increase brightness, color and a just a smidgen of sharpness. I did have to increase exposure a little more without sacrificing any detail in the petals. I normally do what I can to avoid using the built-in flash because no matter what Guide Number I use, the image usually turns out to be overexposed, so I went another route. Hope this helps.
