Early Spring

Mark you have amazing work I must say.

Few queries though, I see this photo has a painting like effect. Also, the photos are very colour rich. Do you play around the saturation?

Would appreciate if you can clarify the two points

Mustafa:  The colors are mainly not adjusted, with the only exception being the flowers.  As for the 'painting' type effect, I feel it is too strong here as my processing was not as precise as it usually is.  I see much uneven lighting here and it bothers me.  I do generally like to apply something similar to an 'Orton' effect around waterfalls to stimulate the mist in the air and glow I can perceive with my eyes, but on the topic of this particular example I feel various effects such as luminosity and dodge/burn adjustments were far to obvious.  Sometimes I rush the processing just to throw something on the web and get feedback, as was the case here, but even still I feel it was too sloppy.

I was just going to add what you already said above Marc. Everything that has been done here in PP is probably correct and in fitting with your style, all you had to do was knock back the opacity a touch before finalizing/clicking save!

Would these images work without all this PP? only the raw file will tell and there's not much hope that we will see them :)

I rated this 7/7 because although I can see what PP has been done here, you can't deny it looks beautiful.

What a winner, thanks for the details.
