Ok so I am in a debate about which of these looks better. I prefer the one that I enhanced the color on, but someone else at my house prefers the original. So I would like some opinions, comments and critiques on which you all like better.

This is the original straight out of the camera

This is the one I played on the color with

ckcougar Loc: NATIVE FLORIDIAN

2nd one has my vote. Grass looks more natural & less washed out (drab?)

Chuy Loc: OUT OF TOWN

First one. It's more natural. To much red in second picture

Roy Hakala Loc: Red Wing, MN

I would pick the second, except that it looks just a little too enhanced. I like the fact that the head stands out from the background in the second. Maybe try diminishing the vivid setting but then increasing the contrast?

Ok I will look into doing something like that. I figured if people liked the natural one better or thought I had enhanced too much I would give enhancing it another go and try things a little differently.

Yeah that's what I was afraid of is that the original one was too washed out looking.

I think you were right to enhance it, but just not as much. Great photo!

Oops I guess I had this posted in the wrong section so it got moved.

edwinj Loc: winchester,ky

while you're re-enhance the color for a second time, do something about the limb coming out of his head.

Ah, never really saw that there before. Thanks

I think it is great straight out of the camera

Thank you. I thought it was pretty good to until I started playing with the color on it. Now I am even more undecided.

dial316 Loc: North Florida

8-) I agree the original looks better. :thumbup:

rpavich Loc: West Virginia

The original is a bit washed out but the second one is too enhanced.

I'd say something between them would be good.

From my old eyes

#1 - Nice but seems washed out / flat

#2 - Very nice and you might backtrack a step in the enhancement to lower the impact of the reds.
