[QUOTE="eurotrash, post: 61125, member: 9237"] I would have used spot metering instead of the pattern metering that was chosen here. I would have also used about F8-F11. You can also set your colour balance to a custom one and change the whole tone curve (that's in your manual..) I almost always use A-2 or A-3 for shots indoors to kind of warm them up a bit since A-2 is basically, "amber colour +2 saturation" in layman's terminology. Back up when shooting these flowers and crop later. Unless you have a macro lens. As far as the brightness goes, you didn't do anything in post, so if you shot RAW, you could go back in and brighten it up a little, tweak the colours, sharpen etc. I almost always use an exposure compensation of about +1 on all my photos because my nikon tends to underexpose (to my eyes) all my shots.
