Cranberry Hibiscus

Not your ordinary Hibiscus and not the best blossom with a split leaf. Simply want your comments pro and con.

Why so dark? It's hard to make any other comments not being able to see the details of the image.

Normally I shoot flowers with off camera flash at 1/250 to darken the background and light up the blossom. Not using a flash for this one I under exposed the image by 2 stops to darken the background. Then brought the exposure of the blossom up in post; but as you discovered, not nearly enough. Stay tuned for the next iteration. I appreciate your critique.

I like the darkness, well maybe just a little brighter.
My wife's opinion as well. Stay tuned...

Be sure to use sRGB color space when posting to UHH. The download of this exquisite flower is brighter than the thumbnail - mysterious and engaging.

My first thought was "pretty but way too dark", and then I tried the download. Wow! What a difference! Beautiful and mysterious...and I love your unusual composition as well.

Thanks for the tip Linda. You were right, I exported it with Adobe RGB color space. I've attached the same photo using sRGB color space. When I get time in the next couple of days I'll tweak the exposure of the flower and post it....
The download is much brighter.
