Sunrise, June 21 - Hailstorm Creek, Algonquin Park

Comments welcome.

Nice shot! Love the reflection! The color seems to be a bit plain/ordinary, but I'm sure it can be correct in PS.

Thanks for your comments. Any suggestions - greater saturation? Reduce brightness overall? Play with the tone curve? My other issue with this pic is the vignetting in the corners due to the use of a circular polarizer - that's the price for adding that otherwise very helpful filter.

Hello Mike,

 

I just enhanced the colors and sharpened it a little bits. My option is very limited because I was working with your low resolution version for the web. there are so much more you can do with your original file. Anyway, what do you think? Is it better or worst?

Hard to decide from the low res. version, but it looks like the increased saturation does help. I don't want to go too far, because it was early morning and not a completely crisp day - there was still haze in the air. I think the overall tone of the original does need to be brought up a notch tho... thanks for your help!

Mike, lovely scene, hope you don't mind another version. Cheers, Sondra
