I like the first one too. The water is getting gray in the other two and the trees are getting to bright in the last one. The first one is awesome.

I kinda thought the comments would be the Org image, is the fave. I like playing with the editors, is fun and I need all the entertainment I can get.

I am the same way Ray. Like to play with all the sliders. Just not brave like you! I don't post mine :-D I am getting better though. Keep trying, it's the only way to learn. With the help from everyone here, I have come a long way.

Well, I hate to be the dissenter here, but I do think the sharpening on the second version helped. Not so happy with the HDR though.

When I did film, color, and sent my processing out, it was easy -WYSIWYG, today with digital, I can do anything I want to a photo. I think this is very cool.

You are right there. I can make a pretty bad picture look pretty good. Seems to me the settings are harder to get with the camera tho. It might just be me. I am getting closer tho. I seem to over expose most of the time. Fun stuff tho!!

I do too. Sometimes we need to leave the picture alone! WE do not need to post process everytime.

One and two are fine, but the last one is way over saturated.

I agree but I will take it 1 step further. We also need to learn how not to take a thousand pictures of the same thing while on holiday and then we need to wean those same thousand pictures down by 75% and not cry about it even if they are nice and clear. I still cry when i do it and I'm a guy! This makes it less time consuming when you feel that you have to pp every pic in a set anyway. Lol

#'s 1&2 are the best (IMHO) with #1 coming in first place. The 3rd finishes a way distant 3rd and essentially out of the race.

Keep the original ! Sometimes over working a photo kills it. "If it ain`t broke don`t fix it !

From the Department of Redundancy Department. No. 1 by far is the best in terms of color and presentation.
