I like the less saturation of the car but the higher saturation of the sky.... and I like the BW... and I quite believe you didn't nudge, having spent a lot of time shooting in the desert. But getting it as close as you can to what you remember has to be your priority. I bet it will make a stunning print.. ann Brian Walters wrote: >Thanks for all of the comments and suggestions on this image. > >Most comments thought that the colours in the image were over-saturated.
