Very helpful, Paul - thanks! Still really LOVE this photo! Because I'm such a newbie to photography, I'm still trying to learn what I need to do with my camera BEFOREHAND to get close to the results I want AFTER. That's enough of a challenge for now! LOL
Actually... few of my images are completed at the time I take the picture. Photoshop plays a part in almost all of my end results. This image didn't have much done to it, though it did have a yellow/green cast replaced with the warmer reddish/brown color that shows up in the end result. I look at the beginning picture as merely the canvas and paint I use to create the end result. There are many people that believe a photo as originally taken should be preserved to the end, though I do not.

This one gets my vote for today's pic, Paul. What a terrific shot this is! It looks like a fluorescent ice cream cone! :> I just LOVE the resulting color. Did you modify it at all in PS after the fact, or is that the way the just color came out naturally? Either way... tremendous!
