Hi Kelly---I've been there and have seen animals along the road like this and have to say, it is thrilling! This photo brings back memories. There seems to be a slight blue cast and I would suggest color-correcting that unless you have a specific reason for keeping it.

Juli, No, there was no reason that I wanted her to have the blues. I actually reduced the blue some, but probably not enough.

Kelly---if you are using PS, go to Image>Adjust>Curves. Click on the center eye-dropper (mid-tones). Set the RGB boxes each to 128. Click OK. Then move your cursor onto the image where it will turn into an eye-dropper. Find the most neutral gray area you can and click on it. That should remove the blue cast and warm the image. You might not hit it the first time, but no biggie, just back up in the history palette, or revert and try it again. This is only one way to color balance (or partially color balance) and there's no one "best" way to do it. Hope that helps! :D

Nicely done. Doesn't seem to be paying you any attention.

I agree with Juli that it does appear to have a color cast. I find the easiest way to check if there's a cast I don't like is to go to Image>Adjust>Hues and push the slider a looooong way to the right. Funky things will start too happen but when they happen in a color I don't expect, say in blue, then I know I have to make an adjustment.
