To me, the last one is better contrast, but a touch too blue. Much better though, Ron. Nice shot!

volleybrad, do we know each other? I used to be a power vball junkie 10 years ago!

I don't know. I've been playing for maybe only 11 years competitively

i fell so dum i now what the sploches are they are getting there winter coat.i think i was half asleep when i posted that.

nice shot, i think i prefer the last one too,and you have given me a place to add to my must visit list

If it's bowhunting he is asking about, I say it's very hard. In this case there is no shot.
With your camera though, you nailed her.

Thanks Randy. I think my son was being a bit facetious. Though neither he nor I have ever done any hunting, I have taught him how to handle a rifle very well. In fact, with his 16 year old eyes, he can see the target much better than I can. This deer was just standing there, obviously not feeling threatened by us.

Thanks to the rest of you, too, for your comments and suggestions. (And hello Frank - I'm still working on my pictures from Waterford Hills - hope to post some more soon.)

I have given this image one more "shot," so to speak, this time with just levels, contrast and USM. I didn't add any saturation or color correction. It's definitely better than the first one, and I think it's less blue than the second.

Thanks Jeff. Here is a link to the PDF brochure for the nature preserve. http://www.westbloomfi​eldparks.org/programs/​Trail%20Brochure.pdf
I'm going to try going back this weekend to see if I can spot some herons before they head south.
