That is unbelievable. Personally I think corals pop best under blues, but I know what you mean. Obviously you're using the lens clip over the camera lens? Try to find your white balance or WB and see if there is a slider or bar that you can raise.
That's just it, I don't think the iPhone has that. My Samsung camera was WAY better and I could get great pics with it.

I'm am off work Monday for Memorial Day and Wednesday is our anniversary so I took it and Tuesday off as well so that will give me 5 days in a row off work. Not sure what we are doing other than going to the eye doctor on our anniversary but I'm looking forward to the time off work even if all I do is stay home. 😆
Sounds perfect to me Amanda!
