 Post: Thanks for the comments altho I was a little disappointed at most jumping to the conclusion that I had worked the colours.

This was the scene as I saw it (apart from the soft edges of course). All I did was increase the exposure a little thru levels and adjust contrast using curves as I had deliberately under-exposed it a little.

Great shot! Color might be just a little oversaturated. Nice edge blur. -7-

This has a nice, mystical feel to it. The greens seem a little bit over saturated though.

I'd like to suggest that burning the edges of the photo would be more effective than dodging the edges.

Good composition....perhaps a little overworked for my taste

leasingly composed and captured, although a little too saturated for my taste. I am not particularly keen on the soft edge border - to my eyes the photo would be better without it.
