You truly show off the brilliant colors in these shots, although the subtle colors are brilliant in a different tone. The colors are so intense in the first and seventh shots, I am totally in love with how they color your page.
The morning sunrise (which is also true of the sunset) may not look all that brilliant, a subtle break in the day. But minutes before the sunrise, the brilliance crawls in, making shots as you picture above. Opposite for sunsets. It is 15 minutes after sunset!
The world of color is fascinating!
My picks? number 1 & 7!
Thanks for your visit and feedback, looking at number 7 I wonder now did I overdo the saturation, often with sunrises I tone it down a bit if its a real colorful one, but perhaps I didnt with that one
Your so right the time just before a sunrise, sometimes 15 Minutes sometimes even longer and after a sunset, can be the most special times with Mother nature putting on the best display then, thats why if headign out for a sunrise I like to get to the spot at least 30 Minutes before sunrise.
and it does amuse me a little seeign people arriving just on sunrise time, or leaving at sunset as soon as the sun drops below the horizon knowing sometimes the best is yet to come
That is so true! Especially I see that in the tropical regions where people pay good money to see sunsets and run before the show even begins. I always tell them to stay 15 minutes more and they will get a real show. Once in a while, not, but, for the most part, yes!
I don't think it is oversaturated, I think it is perfect and the colors really popped for me. I frequently tone the saturation down also, especially on flowers. Remember the tulips? It is hard to use their true colors because the eyes are screaming oversaturated! :))
It's a game we play with them.
The pictures are gorgeous! I feel so far from water today!
I think it comes down to both personal preference and mood at the time when it comes to working out whether to boost or tone down the saturation on images. I generally try to bring it down a little as I know on my monitors it gives a good color match to what I see but have seen on others computers at work and at family and often find what I see on those shows as more saturated than what I see on my computer
