I have been taking pictures of this bright yellow flower
now for months. I have been disatisfied so far partly
because the thing that draws my attention to these things
is the very slightly orange portion of the petal. I have
so far failed to capture this aspect of the flower. Here
are some pictures to show what I mean.

I am using Kodak Royal Gold 100 on this.
I have considered the fact that I might be halucinating
the whole thing under the Texas sun, but have checked it
twice.
So my questions are, what is the most likely problem?
(Film, Lighting,?) What can I do to compensate?
Thanks!
It is always hard to tell what is going on before the final image on
the computer, but the images appear to have low contrast as if taken
in the shade. Sunlight should help, but not during the midday blast
of blue. A slide film will give more contrast and, I find, more
accurate colors. Try some Fuji Velvia which is warm or Agfa RSX50 or
100, which are cooler. Neither will miss any color in the frame.
