i'm sure they would be great if the resolution was higher.

or if the focus was stronger.

depends how exactly you'd like to capture it

Time of day is poor for taking shots such as this. Wait until the sun isn't straight overhead- it washes out colors. Maybe 6ish PM, the sun provides a nice yellow glare that really compliments flower shots.


Pretty much said here.

I think it's a little washed to me because in bright overhead sunlight conditions, your camera's sensor is competing to balance the highlights and darker portions into something more neutral. This results in what you have. This is where HDR comes into play (not necessarily for this photo or flower macros) but because HDR takes the "exposed for highlights" and "exposed for shadows" and combines the two taking the best of both worlds you then have something, if processed correctly, that is more pleasing to the eye.

But as touched upon by others, you could try shooting at different times of the day. Also there are some other things that could help such as a polarizer or an ND filter though an ND may make a longer exposure depending on the amount of light present and if that be the case, then wind will ruin your photo.

I guess you gotta play around a little with what you have.
