Are my pictures oversaturated ?
Hi Everyone... posting here after a very long time. Technical and personal difficulties held me back from photographing for a long time. With John Mumaw I was able to find a good monitor recently and processed some of my old files. But I just wanted to see if you guys think my images are overly saturated.. and please critique my work... :smile:

I still shoot Velvia so your pictures look under-saturated to me. :biggrin:

Welcome back. Very nice collection.
The saturations look fine to me.

Great set all around Rajeev! Strong compositions and some great light. All look good saturation-wise and the processing overall looks good. The second and last photos are my favorites. Welcome Back!

Yeah they look good! The Medano Creek shot is my fave... very cool.

The color looks perfect! I agree with Jack, that Medano Creek shot is killer!!! Nice shots and keep them coming.

No problem with saturation here. The Medano Creek image is stunning and the GOG shot is OMG. Thanks for sharing

No WAY, they look stunning! You might even have to boost it a bit for printing, lol. Awesome set! In fact, your GOG image to me looks a hair UNDER saturated, but I tend to go a bit overboard. :wink:

Mark Stahlke's reply cracked me up: "I still shoot Velvia so your pictures look under-saturated to me." LOL!

Looks great. Agree with Paul on the GOG photo. Its a great shot would like to see it just slightly more saturated.

Nice Series. No Issues!

The color looks real natural to me. Maybe the GOG image could use some more contrast. #2 is tops here.

Thank you guys... Doug... I think jpeg compression really killed that GOG image here. :smile:
