Caesar Creek Lake is world renowned for its fossils. This photo is just a very small glimpse from a display in a glass case located in the Visitor Center. The overall quality of the original photo is only fair, at best, so advanced editing could only do so much. Adobe Home Deluxe 4.0 and Adobe PS Elements 2.0. was used.
Noise filter applied, instant fix for color, jpeg clean up, cropped to 8 by 10, resized for submission, sharpened, touched up eyes by cloning from dark pixels within the photo.
Thanks for all the comments on my photo. The time in which these animals lived here is called the Ordovician Period. I think my main subject is a Trilobite.

Great shot! LOVE the pastel colors and the subject matter here (my best guess is a horseshoe crab amoungst sea anemones but I'm probably wrong on both accounts). I think the image could use a bit more contrast and color saturation. Nicely done, though.
The colors are bright, but the picture is not crisp. Good subject and really the overall composition is very good. The quality of the photo is just not where it needs to be, especially for this type of shot.
