Is this "too HDR" or saturated?

    A tad to much red!!! Eyes are very sensitive to reds, and to me it is the first thing that jumps out. The other colors might be oversaturated also, but to me they are more acceptable then the red. The trees also have blue halos around the trees in the sky, probably from over saturated blues? Also needs straightened, and I would add the rest of the swing to the right, and the rest of the slide to the left (to me they look sort of chopped off). I like the look your going for, and that playground looks pretty fun :D A kid going down the slid, or swinging on a swing would really add to the shot (give a place to rest your eyes)

    Great shot. Tone down the red a bit and the others will seem to pop more. thumb.gif

    I'm really hoping that most kids don't respond by painting the town red.ne_nau.gif




    j/k I agree. Red is a little strong here. This monitor is not calibrated, but to me even the trees and sky look a little red.
