Velvia does have great color! I would have used a little smaller aperature for more DOF. Sorry I didn't reply soon. To answer your question, Velvia is what gave (Yucca Flower) it the great color, (besides the great light I had). To bring the plant in the foreground to an exposure closer to that of the background, I used a 2-stop grad neutral density filter. I wish that I had a 3-stop, though.

I can see what you're trying to capture, but the lighting has let you down - the flash is too strong and too cold. Velvia is normally used for landscapes, especially susets, because of its rich colours. For a shot like this, I would prefer Provia 100. But even so, I wouldn't use a straight flash like this - I'd use a tripod and natural sunlight, and try to get a time of day when light modelled things more attractively. But I think you might be better off with print film than slide - slide filsm has a very narrow contrast range (meaning it's bad at getting into the shadows. Print is better...and digital cameras are best of all (and in the end they cost less, because you don't keep buying and developing film).

Is good. Color can be confusing to work with sometimes. Yes, Velvia and processing can be expensive. I use basic Kodak 200 negative film from wholesale store and process there too. Prices are about $4.50/roll including processing.
