Not all of us are so fortunate, Chuck. Or, like in my case, just don't have the time.

Image is underexposed.  It's too dark to go with the distinct shadows
and doesn't look natural.


That may very likely be necessary. My experience with situations like this is that delicate colours such as the light levendar of the petals in the light can be washed out if the photo is not underexposed. The shadows along the upper portion of the flowers and the leaves would motivate me to underexpose at least one stop. Even a slight adjustment in the gamma of this photo causes the lavendar to get washed out, so I'd have to say that the exposure here is right on the mark.

My greatest difficulty with this situation is photographing Datura flowers. They are dead white, and to get them properly when in full sun I'm forced to use a diffuser.
