About the Image(s)
The original was taken on my Samsung phone. Opened in Photoshop where I used hue and saturation adjustment to boost colours to altered reality. Then I resized the image into a letterbox format.

Very colorful. I would lower the saturation just a bit. Posted: 07/08/2026 21:43:48

You have certainly altered reality!! I would love to have seen the original.
I agree with Deborah to tone down the saturation a little as, in my opinion, it overpowers the image but perhaps this is what you wanted? Posted: 07/09/2026 15:46:50

I deliberately wound up the saturation as I intended this to be an altered reality image.

Ian, I like the letterbox format and your handling of the edge. The intense colors are beautiful. Posted: 07/10/2026 04:25:48
The crop is good, and the colours have to be outlandish (I like them) to help the picture stand out. Great fun. Posted: 07/10/2026 09:55:44
