I personally find it enjoyable to apply my own vision to a photograph when sitting at the computer rather than fiddle with a bunch of settings/choices on the camera and come away with a pre-baked cake
I've never had to send a print back to Mpix. I've only had one problem with their prints and after discussing the issue they reprinted the entire order.
The Costco and Sam's Club near me have eliminated their in store photography department. It is all on line now. I recently used Mpix for holiday gifts and the shipment was delayed because UPS delivered it to the wrong PO. Mpix customer service was wonderful. Kept in touch with me and when 2 days went by without the shipment they printed it again and shipped it with FedEx. I recently saw a list of online places to have images printed and Mpix was 10th out of 10. Where do you get your prints if you don't print them yourself? Thanks in advance. Barb

Sorry for this misfortune. I suffered a ton of crashes with Luminar 3 which has caused me to seek other software for Data Management. Skylum gave me Luminar Flex to placate me which is rock solid as far as I can tell. I'm thinking of getting LR since Luminar Flex acts as a plug-in for it but that $10/month forever still bugs me. Skylum development team needs to step up their game to stay relevant.
That $10 per month is the best bargain out there. And, always up to date...
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.
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....
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.
