Daffodils

I went out this afternoon in the rain to see what I could make of it. Oddly enough, after processing, this daffodil looks downright sunny. Just wanted to do a bit of highlight adjustment to bring out the texture in the petals, but PS must automatically adjust the exposure or something, because it immediately went from rainy day dull to sunny. Since I liked it, I left it alone, but wish I knew exactly what they were doing with that adjustment.

1Div, 500 mm f4 ISL (I went out looking for Goldfinches singing in the rain, but no luck there), tripod, f13, 1/250, iso 500, -2/3 stop compensation. Processed in LR5 & CS6. Cropped to square and then a bit more. The oof blossoms were all to the left of the subjects and made it look unbalanced, so I cropped up from the LRC into the second blossom to change the composition and emphasize the main flower instead of the pair. I'd be interested in knowing how you think it worked.

Your comments are always appreciated.

Thanks for looking,
