So far in photography, I have concentrated on composition and capture. I don't really speak the language of post-processing yet. Do you mean the pinkish color, most notable in the beach and the scree across the lake, even in the lake itself? The whole Maroon Bells region is made of Colorado red sandstone, which has a lot of iron oxide and pink feldspar. What you are seeing is what it looked like in those lighting conditions. In reality, the water is a dark red, the 2 peaks often glow a bright pink in sunrise photos but only show only a very little here due to the overcast. I suspect a lot of color reflects back off the clouds, too. While difficult to make great judgements on color in a small rendition of a landscape, I am thinking you might want to bump up the saturation of blues and decrease exposure of the sky. Whether there's too much red overall, maybe. Very nice composition, and it should look fine printed as is. -- john mcwilliams |

Very nice composition, and it should look fine printed as is. Here is the latest test version with your suggestions included. Increased green and blue, saturation, brightness, and darkened her hoody. http://www.flickr.com/photos/4347839...93622/sizes/o/ Much improved. Thank you! Indeed it is! You still have detail and color in the sky that doesnt' show well, at least on my screen. You could try some duplicate layers, with a masking in of the sky (ie, masking out the forground), and then lowering exposure, or try different blending modes. -- John McWilliams |
