I’m glad you continued to keep on shooting, because your work is actually good. It would have been bad if you stopped, especially since it apparently makes you really happy. The sunset picture is beautiful. I would edit it in a similar fashion.

Saturation really works in your sunset picture, but saturation doesn’t work in other cases. For instance on this picture, because I am huge fan of vibrant colors, I REALLY wanted to make this more orange-red. The area is called Valley of Fire, and I really wanted a richer orange-red to represent the area’s name.  But it would have been bad for skin-tones,  especially on the girl, so ::sigh:: I had to desaturated it a little and cool down the tint.

I’m all for a clean slate, and since we’re on the same boat, perhaps we can help each other out.
