BC Rivers Day Celebration (3)
Posted by Magda (Vancouver, Canada) on 2 October 2009 in People & Portrait.
BC Rivers Day seeks to raise public understanding of rivers and the many benefits they provide to us --- clean water, spawning salmon, historic trade and exploration routes, a place to play. There is much to celebrate, but BC Rivers Day also profiles the threats to our waterways, and offers the public a chance to get directly involved with creating solutions
Thank you so much for taking your time to visit and comment on my photographs. It is greatly appreciated! :)

Henk van Rijssen from Utrecht, Netherlands
such events are always wonderful to make photo's from.
But I think your photo's differ from many others made during that day. For sure your colours are always brighter :-)
Do you do something with clour saturation while processing your photo's?

@Henk van Rijssen: Thank you very much Henk. It was a nice bright day and all those wonderful colours around to make the photos stand out. I do play with the saturation a bit but nothing too drastic.
