Here's the after/before comparison of the photo of the Yellow Daylight Lily that recently made it into my gallery at SeenBy. As usual, the mouseover image will show the unedited photo.

The raw data has been interpreted with Lightroom's "Camera Standard v3" profile and I clicked on "Auto" for a white balance of 2850/+28. I altered the final image's white balance to 3379/-5 (so it's just a little bit warmer.) Daylight white balance would've been waaaay to warm and not a somewhat authentic reproduction of the colors.

"Yellow Day-Lily" // Nikon D700 @ ISO200, AF-S VR Micro Nikkor 105mm @ f/16, 1/50s handheld

I used the very same photo before in my post for the Macro Lens Considerations in a slightly different edit. If you click on this link it will open in a Lightbox and you can switch back and forth between all three versions.
