It's fine so long as there's limited ambiguity in the case of otherwise un-manipulated images. For instance if I make a shot of my back yard by moonlight it generally looks quite strange as often due to its position in the sky the moon casts shadows that the sun couldn't. > Was the shot pleasing?

It was pleasing, I appreciated the composition and content but due to the ambiguity developed by the exposure wondered quite what was going on, I guess for a straight landscape that's a little unusual. I did have a play and the water does show green but the contrast can be maintained and the image still remains strong. -- Rob Studdert (Digital Image Studio) Tel: +61-418-166-870 UTC +10 Hours Gmail, eBay, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, Picasa: distudio -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
