I guess it is easy being green

at least around here. So much green it almost hurts your eyes, but after a winter like we had, I'm happy to have it. This is Adams pond about 5 minutes from my house. There's a rope swing to the left out of the shot. If it had a tire, I'd have put it in, but alas, just a rope.

It does hurt the eyes a little! But it is so pretty! It looks like a fun swimming hole.

thanks. I've never swum there, but I could be talked into it come August. Is it oversharpened??? that's my suspicion, but I keep changing my mind.

I don't think it is over sharpened.....what gives my eyes a small prob
is the reflections in the water.......kinda pulls on my eyes......

I really like how the foreground grasses breaks the reflective top/bottom symmetry of the photo. I'm wondering if you could really pull out more separation in all the greens by doing a mild curve adjustment in the Lab color space.

Wicked_Dark

hmmm...maybe I could. Do you know if Lightroom has the same ability with the curves function there? I've never been a Photoshop user, so I'm unaware of it's special powers.
