Looks great. Though a subtle change it makes a difference :) -Techo

Thanks, Techo. I took your advice and adjusted the levels a little. What do you think now? The original is in the pending gallery for comparison. -- Ken

A very cool find! with neat pastel colors. Would only suggest some Levels, push the highlights a bit to the left or just slightly push up the contrast and brightess. Think it would look even better and pop those pretty colors just a bit more. -Techo

Thanks, everyone. Julie, as Rod indicated this was taken in Nassow Harbor, Nassau, Bahamas. The famous Atlantis Casino and Resort is located to the left and behind these colorful waterfront properties. Rod, digital definitely has some advantages -- It's less expensive, less time-consuming to process (even when shooting raw) and the colors can really turn out great. I still feel that film sometimes has a better "presence," but since I no longer have access to a darkroom I never use it any more. I think Kodak Tri-X film was the best photographic tool ever produced; it offered such remarkable tone, grayscale and grain. I use to buy it by the 100-foot roll and load it into 35mm cassettes myself. I really hate to see film disappearing from the camera stores. Ken

I think the title is a clue Julie:-) Well done Kenneth looks really nice. How are you going with the digital?

Beautiful. I like that you can see the colors reflected in the water.
