Time for a little 'Red' perhaps?
Still one of my favorite locations in the UK. The slight hand movement I know will not agree to all :biggrin:

Yes, but still worth a view. Hope to see some at Formby Point next Friday when we go clearing scrub
ready for planting some pines.

:toast: :toast: :jump:

Sorry Stephen this doesn't work for me at all. The bark and squirrel's foot look to be more in focus that the head/body of the squirrel. The OOF claw doesn't help and the colours look over saturated. The BG doesn't do a lot for the image either. Sorry :frown: :frown:

Over saturated Maggie? :confused:

Steve the red in the legs looks a really strange colour.

In the arm it is quite intense almost as close to the Hazelnut, however the only addition was +10 in saturation so...

Can't win them all the time Maggie :biggrin:

Thanks for the input. :wavey:

Why thank you Julian, much appreciated.

Personally the green behind does detract and would have liked more continuing tones & colours, but not even I can move a forrest. :smile: I might also be tempted to lose a bit off the top too, on reflection. Colours are very subjective and I am not going to open that can of worms re monitors either, all we can do is reflect what we 'think' it was like at the time and relying on the input from the camera too.

As I mentioned Julian, the movement I am 50/50 on, but at 1/50 you would expect something.

Appreciate the feedback.

Thank you.
Steve
