I sssssssee you....
I had fun with this lil guy last year. I found him cruis'n along a trail out at the Ridgefield NWR. Thought I'd play a little Crocodile Dundee.(I've had reptiles my whole life practically, he was in no danger at anytime) The DOF was on purpose, and it took forever to get just the eyes.

not to be harsh, I like the image but I would get rid of the magenta in the scene....maybe more brown.....thats all.....great shot!

This is great. I totally give you props for your efforts on the DOF. :toast:

Magenta....hmmmm, I just don't see it really. Maybe it time to recalibrate my monitor...? The snake was reddish on its side though....? I don't know. :confused:

Nice image. For an impartial assessment of the degree of megenta variation from neutral, convert the image to LAB from RGB, then run your eyedropper tool over the boken tips of the wood grain. You will see in the A channel that the measurements lean clearly toward the magenta. Very simple to correct with your A channel curve.
