    Nice shot Jenny but the greens look a bit too bright, over saturated even. Also the blown out sky in the top right distracts from the image.

    Thanks Dave, I didnt do anything with the colour but it does look a bit :shock: will have a go at
    toning it down, had problems with getting the balance right, the sky was bright “nothing” sky and
    it was very gloomy in among the trees, any ideas what is the best way to meter in that situation?
    18mm f3.5 1/15th ISO 125

    Hi Jenny.
    A nice find. These scenes can be difficult successfully, but I think a subtle HDR would do the trick.

    Wasnt exactly a find miki……in the Heritage Park in Wexford, :) The rain stopped
    long enough for me to get around and take a few pictures, but the light was really
    not kind. A place I will probably re-visit on a better day (weather wise) and next
    time I shall be better prepared and bring the tripod. HDR would be the way to go
    you are right.

    Use the fact that you don´t have to pay for the film and simply try different exposures and then choose the one which you like.

    A nice shot. Would agree with others that you retry under different light conditions.
