I really like photos with bright bold colors, but on the other hand I have a fear of oversaturating and turning my photo into a cartoon. Here are two edits of the same photo, done a couple of months apart, did I go to far? Any other comments or suggestions?

1st version...


2nd version...

I like the 2nd one By Far! But i dont really like the Rock color for some reason... i think its because you all those beatiful colors then you have that greenish color in there.. i duno thats just my 2 cents....#2 looks better

I tend to lean towards the first version more, mainly because the sky seems like too much in the second version. I do however, like that there is more detail in the foreground cliffs in the second version. I might have suggested some dodging on the cliffs in the first version to bring out some of the texture. I think the second version accomplishes this. I also like the softeness of the water in the first version better, again with maybe just a bit more dodging. Maybe you could find a happy medium between the two. :)

It's a beautiful scene you captured though, whichever way you choose to present it.

Was about to write my opinion but 'twas almost identical so got lazy. Just "ditto".

Although I naturally tend towards darker, less contrasty images myself.

2nd one is gorgeous!

The 1st image is fairly flat looking, but the 2nd one is amazing. Very beautiful.

Thank you...Givemeashot, jenesis, kirsty mcn & skylen

Giveme...I wondered myself if there wasn't a greenish cast, thanks for confirming. I'll put that on the fix list!

jenesis & kirsty...I agree a bit too much on the sky. Sky goes on the fix list. The water I'll have to think about, I'm kind of fond of version 2 water.

Thanks all, again!

Anybody else?
