We were on our way to Trillium lake, but with the help of the rangers, we finally made it to Zigzag falls. Afterwards, we noticed the sign for Mirror Lake. Never made it to Trillium Lake.

Hope you like it.

Too bad, Trillium is much better than Mirror Lake. Most of your shots appear over-processed, either Saturation, contrast or sharpening beyond my tastes. However, that may be your preference, as we all seem to have different tastes in that regard.

While I agree that Trillium is much better, we have been there several times already, so it was more fun to see something new.

As far as my processing goes, I am all ears. I use a Dell laptop and the colors do look more saturated on my wife's Imac, but look more "normal" on mine. I always shoot raw.
Here is an example for you, would love to hear your thoughts.

Hey there saving spaces, please take what I say with a grain of salt because there are some awesome photographers on here but here is what I see from your screen capture. I notice your highlights are down and your shadows are way up. I would back the shadows down quite a bit and maybe bump the highlights to where they were sooc. Also I notice that you have tweeked the vib&sat. I would use one of the other and not both. I like vib over sat but that is just me. You had a great shoot sooc and just needs a little tweeking. I hope that helps.

Looks better, the only thing I would do is go down to the hsl panel and go to saturation and back off the green until your greens look a little more real. They just look too green to me. Do a split screen when you edit and keep looking at your sooc and get some more color then sooc but again not much. The part of the image that looks too green to me is the reeds on the top right of the image. Maybe they were that green I dont know because I was not there but get as close to what your eye saw. I hope that helps.

Thank you very much, very helpful. I'll look at my wife's screen later on to see how this one looks.

More natural green?
