Hi Kenneth,
Thanks for sharing your image. I can see why you were enticed to photograph the scene you discovered. Ideally, you would have shot in RAW format, if your camera allowed for that. But even if you have a jpeg file, depending upon your editing software, you should be able to select the greenish colours and then modify those colours to suit your personal desires.   Posted: 08/03/2026 02:08:44

What I like most about this photo is the play of light along the ridges, Kenneth. Definitely worth exploring! I think your equipment is holding you back. With more resolution, you could crop shots and still have a good sized photo. Especially with the limitations of trains, it would give you a lot more options.   Posted: 08/03/2026 21:59:26
Hi Kenneth,
This scene has nice potential. If possible, pick your focus point on the golden bush in the middle of the foreground to get more depth of field from front to back. The snow makes a nice frame on the bottom. I would like to see a lot more sky.   Posted: 08/06/2026 18:34:32

Hi Kenneth. On the greens in the trees, is what you are seeking is more green and less "orange"? If so, my first choice would be to adjust the color temperature of the image and cool it down. It looks like you photographed under early or late day warm light - usually viewed as a good thing. But it can turn evergreens a bit orange. So you could cool the scene to taste. You could work to just green up the greens, but I suspect it will look a little unnatural if you cool the greens and nothing else. Hopefully that suggestion helps.   Posted: 08/25/2026 11:48:54
