Contrast & Color, take 2

With digital capture, each parameter useful in raw conversion is a tool for photographer, or for the graphic artist. Contrast is a relative term, higher is not always better, of course, this is a subjective matter. So is the color, and all the combination between all the controllable elements.
This shot, taken in the garden of my apartment, in an otherwise normal afternoon, except after a short rain. Still overcast light, soft, so I tune my camera to have a less saturate tone, reduce the sharpness a little, as well as lower the contrast, to get the final result that is more pleasing for me. Shot with Canon 1Ds 3, EF 24-105/4L, I use a Bron-color Verso A4 to power a Pulso G light, defuse the light through umbrella.
