OK next one to cc...

I reckon there's something not quite right colourwise, what can I do to it?

I like the colours in the water. But I feel it would have been slightly better if it was 1/3 or 1/2 stop less in exposure. Also, you may want to try to bump the saturation up a notch.

Tyranny of distance - you've got a lot of water haze in this photo which is affecting the background.

But I think you are right the greens aren't that green - try playing with the colour balance in the midtones.

Nice shot tho!

Thanks, ok, now where do I go to do that?

Cheers, Chris.

I ran this through DXO optics and it made some good differences in sharpness and colour - I suggest you download the current beta from dxo.com and try running some of the pics through this
