C&C: Early Spring greens

[adversus]

Here's a few more shots I took at a local park. There wasn't much to shoot this time of year.

Interested in comments regarding the coloring. My main concern of this set is #3 below. I couldn't get the overpowering green from a leaf in the upper left muted out while still allowing the petals of the flower to really pop.

And #2 isn't great, I took it quickly to catch all the ducks with their tails up

i'm jealous.

that's all I have to say... I know it's not helpful... but I just had to say it... we are still getting winter b.s. here and I'm DONE with it!

I messed with 3, I assume you did not use a flash just relied on natural light? Anyway here is what I came up with...

looks like I might have over sharpened, but you get the idea. I adjusted contrast/brightness, sharpened, and levels.

No flash, just natural light (and it wasn't really bright either, sort of overcast with small rays of light).

I might try to sharpen and adjust the levels a bit more (especially the greens).
