This is just a garden candid with the 55-135 which I do not use enough for this type of shot.  Questioning whether or not I like the colour, wondering if I am the only one not liking all those choices you get in the develop module Lightroom CC now - I use Classic, and tend to just use embedded and tweak for my monitor/eyes, I'm very very lazy when it comes to processing.

I'm torn between getting the 60mm or the longer zoom for exactly this kind of thing - nice to see how well it performs. Lightroom is still a bit of a dark art for me, almost too much to fiddle with at least without a degree in it!

That must be a precious shot for you, but I agree, I do not like the colour either. I played about with it a bit on my screen, and I think you could get it a lot better.

The gear is irrelevant; there are so many ways to shoot macro. The result is not to be judged by the tool. :)

The only criterium is whether the reproduction ratio is larger than life.

This is just lovely, are they both yours? Im struggling with the greens in all my shots so I don't think you're alone.

I'm with you I guess.  I tend not to get into a lot of the preset choices - except when I convert to B&W.  With B&W I find it useful to use a preset as a starting point and make changes from there to taste.  With colour, I may do an "Auto" adjustment of light but I often find that does off from where I want.  So I land up adjusting exposure and contrast again as well as shadows and highlights.  I usually prefer to keep it reasonably natural with just enough adjustments to make dark shadows more visible and very over-exposed areas less bright.  Trying at the same time not to make things look to artificial or flat.

 

There have been occasions when I do want a particular effect and then I may do something more but generally I prefer the above.

 

A very nice picture, by the way.
