That last one is definitely my favorite.

the changes are pretty subtle.

They are immediately noticeable to me, so much so that they make me wonder if I really do appreciate the subtle changes in color images as much as in black-and-white images that I mentioned in your other thread.

Thank you Mike, Binnur and Christina! I had struggled just to find the time to edit these shots and I have more that I am working on but I want to say that with all of your kind suggestions I feel like I am reaching a new level in my editing skills.

When we first start out editing our images simple things like an s-curve make such dramatic changes that we are wowed by the results and call it done. Then as our knowledge increases and we have more tools there is a tendency to over edit or simply be overwhelmed by our choices and become paralyzed. The discussion here and in my other thread about subtle changes has really helped me so I thank your for helping to shape my thinking about PP and for helping me to gain the tools that I need to present my images in the best light (pardon the pun).

And, Mike, I must admit to being just a little bit happy to think that I have contributed anything to your appreciation of color imagery as a whole.
