Nellie and babies

Hi

I have been going through some of my old pictures and came across this one - would welcome any C & C on it.

Subject and composition lovely but would benefit a bit of saturation - its a tad overexposed for my tastes.

Sorry for being simple, but how do I do that?

Due to the intense sunshine would it have been better to have used a filter?

For some reason, the composition reminds me of a David Shepherd painting (the one who paints wild life :))

How on earth did you get Mum to get her babies to pose like that?

If you have Photoshop, under Image/Adjustments there's a hue/saturation option. Just tick the preview box and slide the slider along until you're happy with the result. As in most things, less is usually more. But maybe the landscape was lacking in contrast anyway, and this is how it was. :thinking:

If you took this some time ago, was it originally film/trannie?

Lovely picture, though - and yes, definitely echoes of David Shepherd. :)

Thanks for your nice mail. :thumbs:

It was pot luck really whilst hanging out of a guide vehicle, it was with the same camera as I have now a EOS 300D. I haven't really taken much pics since the trip and want to get back into it again.

I will try the photoshop instructions, many thanks :woot:
