Scrub Oaks & Old Stones

I appreciate the feedback, increasing contrast was recurring comment. So I thought I would repost with an increase in contract up 10%. It loses some softness but sharpens the stones. Thanks for looking.

The repost looks better Steve as the whites look brighter and you have more tones in the rocks now. It gives the appearance of being sharper especially the flowers. A very nice intimate scene.

I like the added contrast. Saturation now feels weak, though. For images shot in this soft, even light, there's a lot more latitude for saturation since there's not as much competition from contrast.

Stephen: This does work better for me. Nicely seen and captured. I do like the contrast between the hard rock and the softer scrub. Well done.>=))>

I definitely prefer this one Stephen; nice adjustment. I also agree that a bump in saturation would add.
