I took this picture last week at "The National 911 Memorial". Since I posted it on my FB page, I been told the color is over saturated. I only use my Macbook Pro to edit in photoshop. Can you nice folks help me if I need to tone it down a bit?

I'm not clear: Are you asking for someone to reduce the saturation for you?

The photo looks great, nice shot. The filter effect you use lends itself to the vibrant colors. By the way what filters did you use? One last thing, you might want to even up the black breeches on the girl in the center. After that Frame it.

sorry I wasn't clear from my post. I am not sure if the color in the picture is over saturated or not. It look fine on my Macbook Pro but some of my friends keep telling me it's too saturated. I though may be I ask the group to help me find out what the problem is. Thanks.

Could it be a problem with FB conversion? Photo's I've posted on FB don't always reflect with I see in PS.

Thanks John, I used a circular polarizer for the shot. I think that might be one of the culprit to my over saturation issue, plus too undiscipline in photoshop.

It is a lot better but still to much red. The ghosting you see
were also it the first one you posted, just not as prominent.
I think that is caused by the lens, to wide of an angle. Why
don't you post the original to see if it is on that one.

Thanks ebbote. Here's the original plus one that is zoom in. I see the "ghosting" that you mentioned. It's was a 20mm Nikon D lens on my D600.This is the first time I see such problem. Is there way to avoid this issue in the future?

I looked at the whole picture and every thing in the picture
has the same problem with ghosting, building and all, just
in different colors. Are you using a filter, if so remove it, see
if that helps, otherwise it could possibly be your lens.

I did use a circular polarizer filter on this picture. I will try to shoot without it next time. Thanks again for your coaching.

Mahalo!
