Of course I over processed them. I think I was inspired by the opening sequences of 6 Feet Under.

(60,065 posts)5. I'll give that a try.
When do you plant them? Do you seed them then plant the seeds, or do you put the whole seed head in the ground?

I decided to do them in HDR. It has made them brighter, and with a minimum of processing the brilliant colors came through. Not a big fan of HDR, but it seems to work for this. Using a manual lens seems to be OK.
