I am not judging by feelings and personal preference, but assessing color fidelity. I am looking at the screen and have the pot with the plant standing near the screen.

I am an orchid collector and VP of the Swiss Orchid Society, so in this context I am interested in producing a picture that looks as much as possible like the real flower. My orchid photos are for documentation and I cannot publish a picture that does not render the color of the flower as seen by the human eye.

The Canon rendition just does not look at all like the flower. The flower does have what you call the "radioactive look" you do not like. But perhaps you prefer plastic flowers to live orchids...

My orchid photos can be seen on Orchids of The World and Angraecum Encyclopedia
