Yes, the color tinge is no longer apparent. |

Ha, ha, ha...when I wrote that last response, I forgot whose image this was. Jim, of course you know the guidelines for entering images into nature categories. |

Just another thought...this is an excellent nature image that tells a story. It would probably do very well in any PSA nature competition. However, there are strict rules for what can be edited in nature categories. If you think you might ever enter it in competition, you should familiarize yourself with the editing guidelines. |

I think you managed to catch a brief moment in time quite well.
I agree that the water is kind of dull and muddy looking. But, the bright aqua does not feel natural at all.
My suggestion is that you look into the TK7 adjustment panel for LR and PS by Tony Kuyper. It is inexpensive (I paid less than $50), and it has amazing tools for isolating very specific parts of an image without affecting other parts of the image. |

Beautiful! I think you did an excellent job of identifying any possible distractions and eliminating them. In my opinion, the color toning of the processed image is spot on. |

You were very lucky to get a photo of Mammoth Falls with water. When I was there, it was bone dry.
I don't know anything about "technicolor," so my opinion is not well informed. To my eye, the color seems too intense. What if you toned it down 25-30%? |

Thorro, your version is certainly fun. If fun was your goal, you succeeded. However, to my eye, the image feels overprocessed to the point that it almost looks like a cartoon.
You said you wanted more attention on the people and the boats rather than the beach and the waves. Processed as is, the beach and the waves take dominance over the people and the boats. |

I agree with what both Jim and Thorro have said. I have not yet tried portrait photography, but I do a lot of black and white.
I like how Jim opened up the shadows and darkened the highlights. I would love to see more detail in her hair. I really liked the highlight strands of hair near the back of her head.
However, Jim's version, to my eye, has some color tinges that I don't see in the original. Most noticeable to me is a slight yellow tinge on the hand and a slight reddish tinge on the face. Is there a way to create better tonal balance without affecting the monochrome color tones?
