Fantastic colours!

The colours remind me of the 'Quink' ink I used when I was at school!

Great capture, in my opinion. What do YOU think?

Fun read here, too, if you have the time!

Nice pix, but on my screen, the colors seem to be exaggerated electronically, as if by a "saturation" button.

then your display is not properly calibrated.

It is difficult to know what the colors actually were like unless you
were at the scene.
What I saw was, in general, the close-up photos were a bit more vivid
than what I consider natural, while the scenic photos seemed about right.
I could be wrong since I calibrated my display so that the Lubuntu
desktop looks just like the display beside it.

irrelevant.

a display is not calibrated to a particular scene.

some of the photos did have vivid colours, but nothing out of the
ordinary and certainly not anything that was exaggerated.

what puck/software did you use?

There is a way to get colors at/in a scene right.

Start with a calibrated display.

Use a color calibration card/target such as an X-Rite Colorchecker to take a
reference shot of the scene under the same lighting conditions as your
subject. That is what I use.
http://xritephoto.com/colorchecker-passport-photo

Crop the Colorchecker panel and create a camera/lens profile using the X-Rite
software.

Use the newly created camera+lense calibration profile as a starting point
for any further adjustments. You should have no further need to adjust color.

The bottom panel in this shot is the Colorchecker, the top panel is for WB
tone adjustment.

my display is calibrated. In the firs link the greens were
unrealistically over saturated. There was no tonal subtlety. Some like
it that way. I don't, and Mort appears to think so too.

I think it's garishly over-processed. And, a poorly composed and
uninteresting photo.

then your display is not properly calibrated.

This photo of mine is also processed-for-effect. The most accurately
calibrated monitor will not show the flower in its natural colors.
But, I did not intend for it to represent the natural colors.

I like the image, but think it would be stronger if you go rid of the
white petal at the bottom, and sharpened the center of the flower.

My software is Lubuntu (LXDE + Ubuntu) 16.04, with kernal 4.4.0-97.
I never played hockey, so I have no use for a puck.

In the darkroom, however, I calibrate everything to an 18% gray card,
using an Eseco densitometer (for both negs and prints).
