Lovely soft rose cactuspatch, I have one I took with my Sony of Evelyn which has a real sunset glow on it, you are correct, the light which you happen to capture at the right time makes a huge difference. The eye of the photographer is important in framing of the picture.

Gee gessiegail, your post following mine really makes it look like you are accusing me of using a programme to fix my flower, I assure you not, all I have is the basic Picture Project that came with the camera. This I use to crop, alter brightness, and there is sharpening which I rarely use as it leaves a terrible grainy effect, the only time I use it is if it is very dull and it helps to save an otherwise good picture. There is a colour alteration setting but that is never needed (and I never use) as this camera has such good colour capture. You maybe should try using a DSLR to find out for yourself.

This was my other flower pic, and no, I didn't use a thing to alter it, it was taken late in the day with the camera pointing at a light/sky gap through the oak tree behind. The flash went off in the low light and highlighted the flower.
