They don't look too bad, try levels/curves/saturation in PS, I think you need to up some in-camera settings or shoot early morning / late afternoon as the light is usually better for photography. H

Second looks better for me. Good work and waiting for more.

Agreed on second one. For the first, I'd say lower yellows and try increasing contrast in curves a bit.

Looks like grass to me...

It looks like maybe you're dropping the contrast a lot or something.. what steps are you going through when you process your images?

I open the raw file on cs3 , adjust the exposure , WB and such then increase the saturation

Here is my quick edit. Hope you dont mind I gave it a shot. Sorry about the size.

theres my quick edit.

i up'd the saturation a bit, added some green, and added some fill light.

 

[VltnDennis]

Thats a lil too saturated for me , thing is i dont get pictures like that when i shoot in jpeg , its only on raw. and im not sure weather or not im doing something wrong in the PP or the camera settings are off or both , im getting frustrated with my shots

 

[photogincollege]

Was mine to saturated as well?

 

[VltnDennis]
