Wow very cool locations, just beautiful! Nice long exposures!

I'm at work and the little Dell monitor isn't the best, but your images appear very GREEN/YELLOW with the water too blue. And everything is a bit over saturated. I'll check them again at home, but maybe you could mess with color balances to even things out a bit?

Again, beautiful locations!

Hi Phyxius,

Thanks for your comments. I agree with you, the colors do look oversaturated. I had post-processed these before getting my monitor color calibrated. After calibrating the monitor, I see my folly (I did not redo the postprocessing yet)

Nice Compositions overall!
Looks like too heavy on the green & blue on my screen (Which is "calibrated").

The third is Sol-Duc falls in Olympic Nat Park, WA. Beautiful place!
I've got a shot from the other direction and will post it up.

Looks like you may have lost hilite detail in that one and in Horsetail - are you shooting jpg's or raw? I've gone to raw almost completely, and it gives me a chance to adjust the exposure about 2 stops either way when I open them up.

But really, these are going to look pretty darn good when you get the color balanced! I think that will also reduce the appearance of over saturation.
