No, they are very good. The color are very nice and saturated. I like #1 and #2 but wish the pot wasn't in the BG on the #1.

The last one has good potential to be a great shot though - with that color.

Looks like you're doing really well to me, they are some fine shots, the water shots are great but the winner has to be the froggie :D

well thanks, yeah I was thinking the same thing about the first shot but I think its growing on me lol. About the last one, do you reccomend changing the colors? I THINK it was my attemt at HDR, but like many other im not to sure what HDR really is lol

"Whoa these colors have amazing pictures" thats literally what I thought when I saw these pictures. Amazing photos my favorites are the 2nd and 3rd the water flow captured looks great. Would you mind sharing your camera's settings and perhaps some PP techniques to boost colors like this?

Thanks I really appreciate it.

#2
f/20
1.3 sec

#3
f/22
.6 sec

As far as the PP all I really did was bump up some of the color saturation while editing in RAW and added a little bit of sharpness to the froggy. Oh I almost forgot about the last one, I took 2 of the same shot with one have the sky prop exposed and the other with the grass exposed.

I think the HDR process for the last shot made the color look kinda strange. How does the original image look? It looks like it's late afternoon light.

Very nice defination. #3 could have used a slightly faster shutter. The caboose in #4 is just great! I wish you could see these on my new laptop, the color is just killer!
