Yes. See the SBS photo.

I added the original photo, completely untouched to the SBS. Comments such as yours only leads others to question the validity of my entry. There was no saturation added to the original image. Your assumption is just that, an assumption, not to mention an incorrect one.
I have found that taking a photo of my flowers in direct sunlight with the flash on creates bright color and lots of depth.
If you feel my entry isn't a valid or appropriate one then a red flag or a PM would suffice. There is no need for you or anyone else to openly sway others by stating something as fact that is indeed your opinion and assumption which you have no basis.
