Re: PAW PESO - Kids Playing in the Sand

I prefer the first version, though I suppose the second may be truer to  
the actual colours.  With this kind of shot, which relies on the contrast  
between the vivid colours of the subject (the girls and their  
appurtenances) with the drab background, I think you can get away with  
colours that may not be "real".

The fact that the first is warmer also adds I think to the happy,  
nostalgic, even rose-tinted, feelings that the shot engenders.

Possibly a bit more contrast and saturation in the cool pic would swing it  
for me.

think the two compare.  If I were to do the pic over again I might do the
adjustments a little differently, keeping a scosh more saturation (on my
monitor) in at least some of the colors.

BTW, I'm trying to get a handle on this color stuff.  I just bought a
couple of rolls of Agfa RSX II 50 (after seeing Alan Chan's Vancouver  
pics)
and have started working through the first roll, bracketing all the way  
;-))
