This photo was taken on a cloudy day, no modifiers. I wanted to bring out the color and give it some more contrast. I used PSP’s Photo Effects \ Film and Filters \ Vivid. I also used the included Nik Color Efex 3.0 Tonal Contrast filter. Shot info: Canon 7D + Canon 100mm f2.8 (1/100 at f/8.0; ISO 100; white bal: auto)
