Giant Clam

I'm correcting the colors of a lot of my underwater photo's. On this

one I like the blue however.

I would keep the blue. It seems very surreal to me.

Very pretty!

Good colors and shapes!

Agreed - keep the blue. It looks lovely the way it is.

Sorry I have to disagree - in my opinion, of course. The blue just doesn't work for me. I would like to see the Derasa's color as is (which are gorgeous anyway), and certainly the corals behind. Personal preference - but you should always please yourself. To hell with everyone else! ;-)

i agree with Melissa. i too would like to see the true colors.

 

i would color corect it.

 

I do beleave that is a Tridacna Maxima clam ;)

 

Remove the blue. Not the clam. Use the foreground at the bottom right to set the proper color cast. Framing is a little off.

I think you may find the background burned out if you try to color correct. I normally go for underwater lighting, but in this case I would leave alone.

 

Thanks for sharing.

These colours are delicious! For a fine art photo certainly leave as it is, but perhaps for a documentary shot (a book or whatever) you may have to correct. I have to say it was the colours that led me to open the full file in the first place. Irridescent is a word that springs to mind (probably spelled it wrong).
