this is my girls (3 generations)by the lake in glasier national park

What is the subject here. The family or the park? There is not real focus on either. But keep working on it.

I dont think the colours look nice, but the landscape does (sort of). In my books when you've messed up the colours, or you just dont like then you try black and white. Have you looked at this in greyscale ? It is not too bad. Here is my effort, framed, and with a bit of dodging and burning.

to john: your right the grey scale adds some drama to the shot thanks for the help....to T.C. please refer to cabin picture.

I like the B & W version better. The people in the shot kind of add interest and originality to a regular landscape shot. They also lead your eye right to the water.
