    Welcome. Nice shot, but the saturation is too much. Keep posting. :D

    As said, the saturation is killing it.

    Where in S.America was this taken?

    I like the photo. The saturation is not too much in my opinion. Peru is just a really colorful country! ne_nau.gif The red is a bit too much, but then ... a powerful, fresh red is just hard to photograph ....

    I like it as it is!clap.gif

    I couldn't agree more. wings.gifI feel like you've just saved me a ton of airfare $ with a 20 minute tour of your galleries. Love your eye for composition and bright colors.

    Yeah, I just naturally focus on macro, architectural, and colorful shots. I have always had trouble with reds but I prefer them too saturated over too dull. I feel like the colors bring the locations alive even if they are sometimes too powerful.

    My family has always been huge travellers. I am still in college, but between my love for fishing and travelling, I find myself in some beautiful places. I just wish I had bought a camera many years ago!
