[QUOTE="ohkphoto, post: 4850, member: 1573"] Gorgeous shots, Gene! My favorite is the sol duc falls --beautiful color, lighting and tone. The only pic that bothers me a tad is the last one. It's a wonderful shot, but maybe your post processing might be off a little. Maybe contrast too high or too much of an "S" in the tone curve. Maybe if you just lighten the trees a little with the adjustment brush . . . I'm always amazed at how much difference a very small adjustment makes. I love the blue in the water and the deep orange in the rocks leads me to believe that it was taken close to sunrise (since you're in CA --sun would be setting over the ocean, since it's not, sun must be rising behind you --I had to really work on this! :-)) However, the sky does not appear like a sunrise or sunset sky. Another thought is to maybe deepen the color of the sky. Lots of possibilities here. I think the contrast on the people and all others is just fine. Your pics make me really miss the coast. . .sigh Best Regards [/QUOTE]
