That's exactly the kind of processing I struggle with, but I'm still experimenting.I still would love to see the first image edited into a brighter coloured edition, less saturated, soft light...somehow I do see a bright yellow flower against a brighter background ...
If you have LR, there are lots of sliders to push around , experiment ...That's exactly the kind of processing I struggle with, but I'm still experimenting.
Technically, I can do it. It's the artistry and getting the right amount of color without looking oversaturated that I have trouble with.If you have LR, there are lots of sliders to push around , experiment ...all is allowed
I'm a big "consumer" of classical music and have been so for long before I took up photography. I look at these photos in order and I see Vivaldi's first 3 seasons. wonderful photos my friendI'm new to macro, but have been doing digital photography as a hobby for about the last 10 years (and B&W film long before that).
For most of my shooting, I've tried to keep my post-processing as realistic as possible - boost some levels, fix some noise, etc. This is particularly the case for the sports photography that I spent most of the fall and winter doing.
Recently I find that I've been more aggressive with my post processing and trying to get a little more arty or a little more dramatic. I guess you could say I'm trying to find my style.
Anyway, here are some examples of post processing and pulling something interesting out of what might look boring at first.

Yes the colour is a bit tricky, best to start with the right White Balance, then adapt. Only little adjustments are OK. Colour management is a big thing. And every taste is different. Of your three versions I do like the second the best. I think we experience different phases during our photography journey. I love saturated images, a year ago I hated them...ha ha...next year it might be high key, who knows... it is a journeyTechnically, I can do it. It's the artistry and getting the right amount of color without looking oversaturated that I have trouble with.

OK.S Suresh Khaire sir...it would be much helpful to us, if you can kindly attach the base exif with your photos.
First one is little by soft whereas second and third is very good. Here is my shot of flower :
1. Adenium petal in rain
2. A little finger tip size flower
3. Flower stem in rain
All the shots are edited in Photoshop CC 2018.View attachment 1538View attachment 1539View attachment 1540
