With my last roll of film, I edited all of the images with Picasa, some very little, some quite saturated. The rest of these photos, mostly of an abandoned shed or barn, are on my blog site, with a link to the unedited ones on my fb photo share.

Ted, great photo. I love the colorfulness that can be produced when messing with saturation. Your photo has that Andy Warhol/surrealistic feel to it. A long while back, I posted one of a dog on the sidewalk and I played with the saturation also. The intensity of color gives a photo a whole different feel. Nice.

Thanks Eric, I'm enjoying Picasa a lot, possiby too much! But it's a lot of fun.
Fun pic :)
The colours are just great! It's so much more ALIVE than the "real" scene. Nice work ;)
Thanks Lea, The saturation does bring the scene Alive. It's a lot of fun, and I hope I'm not overdoing it!
Ted: To me, saturation is almost like painting. I know it's not what a person saw when taking a photo, but it can definitely add to it and give it a different feel. A lot of people would disagree with me on this I know, but I see it as another facet of photography. It's fun and creative but in another way is all.

Ted, to me saturation is almost like painting. A lot of people with disagree with me as to whether it is appropriate to do that to a photo because it's not what you see. However, I see it as a very creative thing that can bring some beautiful colors into play. I love modern art so I guess that's why I love playing with saturation. It's just different - and fun!

Well, sometimes it's more about the journey than the destination. Testing new things out is a great way to find out what you like.. and what other people like. This is a very nice picture :) I don't think you've overdone it.
I think I look at it in a different way than a photo with less noticable changes. I'm going old school here, but it's like comparing apples and oranges... isn't it?
Sometimes we change the originals to something that we think brings the picture closer to what we saw... and in cases like this, we can try to get farther from the truth, which can be a lot of fun! It's like getting drunk on saturation... heheh... entertaining but I'd say that it is indeed possible to over-do it. And there's a fine line between being a drunken fool and enjoying the partay :D
But Ted, I think you're just enjoying the party here -- Great work! I really like the other pics at your blog too by the way ;)
