I've photographed Hamilton Pool a couple times and know just how hard it is to get the exposure right for both the shadows and sunlit areas. Excellent job, especially for a single exposure. What time of day was this taken?

One way to do quasi-selective saturation adjustment is by using the Curvemeister plug-in:

//www.curvemeister.com/

It includes a Hue-Saturation-Brightness (HSB) mode where you can adjust the saturation curve. For example, you might want to increase saturation on the less saturated parts while leaving the already saturated parts alone. Or vice-versa. Try playing around with the curves and see what you get.

Cool. I never even saw that claw. I like how you got her staring right at it, oblivious to the kids all around.

Of the shots I've seen so far, I suspect this one is the most accurate reflection of most people's mornings. Good concept and I like the dramatic lighting and high contrast in the face.

Good catch. I never really noticed this girl all the while we were there. I remember Deb talking about the sepia layer - I'm glad you explained it here. It's very helpful to me when people explain something about a photo, such as how they achieved a particular effect or what they were thinking when they took it.

Good call. This one is far better than the red haired girl we all kept looking at. Plus this is truly a portrait while that was really a candid.

Neat idea. I keep thinking of Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Sweet. This may take the lead as my favorite reflection in glasses shot. Good idea to keep the color in the reflection - it really shows off the unique color of this capitol.

The multiple panels work well here. I like the effect on the water, too. How did you manage to get just one kid in that whole scene?
