Its 72 degrees outside with 40% humidity. Needless to say, I've been taking advantage of the gorgeous weather:

On my D50, I have:
+2 sharpening
+1 Tone Comp.
IIIa Color Mode
+ Saturation
0º Hue

About 1/2 of the time (depending on what I am taking a picture of) I will increase the levels a little bit (curves), but I have the camera set to only +1 Tone Comp. for the other 1/2 of the time when it is just right. (+2 would be a little too much for some shots).

Those 4 pictures came out of the camera more or less. I may selectively dodge/burn, and I may remove dust, but that's about it. Colors are what came out of the camera.

The pictures you just posted look fine to me in terms of color/saturation (especially the orange flower ones). I really like the second orange flower one.


@Agent69: Nice portrait. Very sharp and framed nicely. It looks good even without the use of a reflector.

Let's get this thread rolling again:







And my personal favorite:

These were taken with a Nikon N90
(yes, I was a dork and failed to notice that the hood showed up in the 20mm lens

)

These were taken with a Nikon D80

(from my garden)

And my personal favorite:

I agree with Towert7. That is a spectacular shot! Terrific colour, contrast, focus and composition.

Beerguy0, that first shot is superb. I also love the other architectural ones... Lovely detail and full of interesting things to look at.

My version of a flower shot:
