Roman,

I did not use a flash, but I wanted to lighten up the trees to create some separation from the BG, so brought in two exposures from the raw file, and masked between the FG and BG. I wonder if that caused what you see? Maybe a WB problem? I must have not been very graceful with my masking for you to notice it. I will play with the WB and relook at it.

I wish it would not have been as windy as it was so the leaves would have been sharper.

We enjoyed the trip - lots of fun and some great hiking there.

I am, however, frustrated because while I can seem to more consistently now get shots that are pretty good ... I cannot seem to pull it up to the "great" realm - even when I am at Zion..

I just have to get out there and practice more... or buy my wife some diamonds so I can go to your workshop!
