Here is the original unedited version of the Bolivar Creek image that I added last night. I modified that image heavily, trying to add some depth and get did of the blue reflections in the leaves and the water.
I like the result of the other image better than this unedited one, but what do you think? .........did I go too far?
The original KR25 slide has better color than this inexpensive slide to CD conversion.
Thank you so much Azra. It's an old image taken in 1993. I had only hiked into this area one time. The brush was quite dense back then and I wonder how hard it would be to hike into that area now. I will only guess that it couldn't possibly look better now than it did over 17 years ago. I'll let this image stay vivid in my own memory with no plans for a future retake.
