Big Smile, Charles Johnston etc.
I find it next to impossible to get a picture of Charles Johnston that is accurate in color.
This one (which I shaded with myself) is closer - but the truth lies somewhere in between:
Big Smile - one of my favorites - in three different lighting situations (all within 5 minutes)
With a flash:
In the bright sun:
And moments later, in the shade:
I dont know if this is Strawberry Swirl, or if it's Radiant Love - but it's one of the two (and I may never know, as I have both)
Lake Norman Sunset:
And Smokey Mountain Autumn:

I find if I take pics when it's cloudy out, the picture comes out closer in color. Not a real dark cloudy just like when it is overcast outside. Or take them in the early morn or later in the evening. Did that make sense?

Yes, I've used a body or hand more than once to attempt to get true colors.

Gorgeous!
It looks like Big Smile isn't going to bloom for me this year.
