[QUOTE="crycocyon, post: 305430, member: 13076"] Thanks for the feedback. Actually, they were much brighter and contrastier for some odd reason in the raw NEF files than you see here post-Lightroom adjustment. I should have actually gone -0.5 or -0.7 on this day as it was a very bright day and I had to pull down the highlights a lot on these to get detail back (like the swans on the boats were completely washed out for example, you couldn't even see the "feathers" on their wings). And they also actually look fine to me at least on my calibrated monitor. But also it is partly a stylistic choice as I like things to be a bit de-saturated and not so over-the-top in terms of color saturation/contrast. [/QUOTE]
