    Jefferson Memorial Sunrise

    I boosted the color to get the feel I was looking for.

    Really like the sky and DOF of this image. Not real crazy about the 2 far left pillars being cut out of the frame.

    I like the composition and the two pillars cut off don't bother me but I do think you pushed the color too far......but if you like it that's what counts.

    I agree with Frog on this one, try adjusting the color using "curves" rather than boosting saturation and you should be able to get the same range of color with a more natural feel. I do like how the sky goes from magenta to red to orange to yellow with the bright blue cap above it all. My only other nit-pick (and this is pushing it) would be the left most light at the top. Feels to me like it should either be all the way in, or cloned out.

    I like the colour boost. lots of nice hues resulted from this. all the yellows pinks and light blue, oranges etc. it's almost like a rainbow of coulrs. I think the perspective shows how grande this place is as well. I also like the placement of the monument here. All looks good to me.
