Exposure looks fine, Roy. Well within the latitude of Superia.

I like pictures 2 and 3, and the seats on the left bank of 3 intrigue me. Are they for watching some river event?

I like picture 1 but there seems to be a slight blue cast. If you've got Photoshop, do a save as and try Image -> adjustments -> color balance. Make sure 'Preserve Luminosity' is ticked, choose midtones and take the yellow/blue slider over towards yellow a little. About -20 to -24 in the box at the top ought to make the grass look more spring-like. You could also try this on pictures 2 and 3, but slightly less, about -18 to -20.

I often find playing with color balance and/or hue/saturation gives a better result on scenic pictures than using Levels. It helps to add 'sparkle', particularly on pictures taken on overcast days or in the shade when blue seems to predominate.

Other image editing programs have similar tools. Try it and see what you think.

Randy and Peter: Thanks for looking and for the nice comments.

Peter, the little amphitheater is used to present various events for the community, usually by players from the University near-by. It is part of the Bidwell Park here in Chico. These shots were taken about 100 yds or so from the Bidwell Mansion (seen in a previous thread).

Here's another shot of the amphitheater which shows the stage area better. First outdoor theater I've ever seen with a year-round creek running between the audience and the players. Might possibly be a boon to players who present a less than stellar performance! ;D

Thank you Peter. I didn't post this one in the first place because I have a tendency to clutter up my foregrounds. Glad you liked it. Roy
