I like these pictures.. it's just.. it lacks character. I'm thinking of doing some color correction and HDR. Tell me what do you think.

these are straight from RAW. just resized it.

trekk'n is fun, but can be tiring for a photographer, since they always carry a tripod, a few filters and an off camera shutter release trigger.

From raw all need a pinch of sharpening and a color adjustment.

btw, what do you think about the framing? cropping, etc... ?

Thanks for all the suggestions.

It's a little oversaturated for my tastes but it is very subjective...maybe pull back on the greens a little. What matters is that it looks good to you or whomever it is intended for.

Curves adjustment with shadows and highlights.

Hope you like, BTW I developed a new way to get a great looking lens blur on this image. I think it looks like true bokeh on my monitor setup. Please feel free to let me know what you think

Another edit, seems like there is something missing from all these edits, some are almost shocking. Any questions let me know ;)

Oh and BTW, you have to compress an image to post it, how you do that can effect IQ. Don't think that your shrinking a .RAW because your not. Your compressing it and shrinking it. FYI
