Hi Kaye, I am not really familiar with this type of fotos with such effects so my comments are limited. I just know that I like it very much. are there any rules or limitations about when saturation is positively effective.? Patrick.
If you have time to answer this you can comment on this on one of my photos in the gallery- if you go there at all.hehe. I will forget where iasked this question so thats why it is better to respond on one of my pics- if you can. patrick. ill shut now. #4267894
