i was wondering if anyone had this problem and if there was some fix or something i am doing wrong.  If  you take a look at this photo i took a while back (which i tried to make into a print) it basically came out with the buttercup loosing ALL definition; the veins went, and you could barely make out the drops of water on it - obviously i was annoyed as that is the whole point of the photo!!   It was just a blur of yellow.  Is this a generic problem with printing digital photos taken in a small gamut (i beleive it was - as it was only taken on my A95)?  Or can i do something to combat it like saving the file sent to the press as CMYK? Or is this something to do with the problem i hear of properly reproducing orange in print? Or should i simply go to another print service? ;)

Thanks for any input
