Jason, I thought you told me you didn't tweak your photos a lot. What did you do to that one?  I much prefer the natural  colours in Andrew's shot.

I don't tweak them a lot. But if you prefer Andrew's thats fine, its personal choice, its the same with art, what looks good to one doesn't to another. On a shot straight out of a camera do you think that captures everything your eye see's? a realistic picture?  it doesn't, a lot is lost, the image can become bland and flat, but when you were there it looked fantastic!!  I personally don't care if photos are photoshopped or not, as long as the picture looks good, surely thats what the idea of a photograph is about, (unless its a photo for legal purposes etc)  But like i said, i don't over photoshop, unless i'm just playing, and even then the effects can be pretty good!! its just like painting! you have artistic licence!!   i usually just increase saturation a little. The top clouds on the Ely one have just been 'burnt' a little, but believe me the view was pretty stunning when i took the shot!

But Andrew's photo has white grass ??? How did he do that..... lol .
