I think I oversaturated it some, but I've always liked it a lot. I'll try to improve on it this year.

Well, thank you, Allan and K!! Much appreciated. You'd never know there was about 1000 people all around where I shot this would you? There was a charity run going on and I didn't know about it, so I was trying to avoid people and still get some shots. #448777Susan T. Parady March 27, 2004

Thanks ALL of you great, talented people!! You all inspire me every day!! #479860Jeff Robinson April 13, 2004
Absolutely stunning Carolyn! A great piece of art you have created! Jeff #480096Bob Fowler April 13, 2004
Oversaturated? Nah... Not at all. It has a nice, 3D look to it. One of the beautiful things about working with color (especially in digital post production) is that you CAN alter the hue and saturation levels. I played around with the color levels of this image in Photoshop and I think you hit the nail on the head. Great work! BTW - This works really well in B&W too.... #481440Elizabeth A. Zibas April 13, 2004
Wow this is fantastic Carolyn. I love the colors, composition and effect. What a sight to see--perfect execution. This is definitely one of my favorites this month. Lovely. #481583Carolyn M. Fletcher April 14, 2004
