this is an awesome shot - the colors are great, the only thing I think of to improve it would be to crop out the bit of greenery in the bottom right hand corner.

Originally posted by awpollard: I took the liberty to work up your shot a bit to illustrate that it is a great shot that just needed some TLC in the digial darkroom. Hope you don't mind. I may have over sharpened it a bit, but I felt it was a little soft as it stood. Always remember to check your sharpness after a resize because you will lose some detail. Under basic rules, I worked the dark end of the curve to bring up the shadows and mids which also brightened the overall shot. Once I worked the curve, I added a little contrast to give it a little pop. I added a couple of clicks of saturation and then boosted the greens just a little more. Again this is a great composition and playing with curves possibly would have brought your score up a whole point or more. Andy

Hey Andy...really well done. Thank you so much for making the effort. It looks light years better. I'm just glad to know that it's possible to improve this shot. I honestly have very little skill in the digital darkroom, and just need some help. I knew it needed some TLC, but didn't know where to start. Thanks again.

It is hard to tell someone how to improve when all the photos in your portfolio are amazing. This one though is my fav of yours. Very nicely done and I love the colors.
