Hey, you suck. How dare you show your face before your southern neighbors?

 

Actually, you are kind of cute but I'm not crazy about the yellow haze.

[albert]

Ha. How can I make the purple, oops, yellow haze disappear?

I'm just on my smartphone but when I get to my desktop this evening I'll give it a try.

But the yellow flower is gone too. It's spring, we NEED color.

I had a go Albert, I really hope you don't mind.

To get to this result (because the colour cast went across the subject and background) it was mainly a case of separating the flower from the background in a selection and then bringing the colour balance away from the magenta/orange side of things. And the background tweaked a bit with saturation and lightness (making it darker). It's made some high contrast edges a little halo-ey but that could be prevented by taking a bit more care/time than I did. 

 

Apologies in advance if you feel this compromises the original integrity of your picture. And especially so if the colours I've switched about are unfaithful/disagreeable. Technical quality in my example has also been downgraded a fair bit from repeat reworking a jpeg and my resizing attempts because I kept getting a warning it was too large to upload.

Now that's more like it.

Now that's more like it.

I completely agree. Nice work, Jennifer, and thanks for explaining the process. I tried and gave up, hence the b&w.

Nice work Jennifer!
