I drove across Norway on a holiday, but only got the chance to take a few shots. Here are some of Røldal, Etne municipality. Beautiful place.

Wow, that lake is gorgeous.

Beautiful place!

But the images look overprocessed to my eyes. Too candy colours fo my taste, and I do like candy colours sometimes (I am even a fan of Fuji Velvia for landscape) .. but these seem overdone.

I would suggest minus 20% saturation in post

Many people say I use too much colour, but I really like it

Thanks for your opinions, Alex!

Maybe a bit over-done, but not much. I prefer the last one.

Beautiful place!
I think the second one has the strongest composition. I do not personally mind the saturation, but I might drag the blue back just a bit to see what it looked like as there is quite a bit of it between the sky, lake, and mountains (I think I see a haze there).

Beautiful...maybe too much color saturation. A little too HDRish for my taste

Very nice, reminds me of when we had a hyte and sat outside for a barbi above the Sognefjord but only had my point and shoot

Thanks a lot, Gary! The Sognefjord is lovely. Norway's longest and deepest (and probably has some international record as well). Is that taken from the road? Or from a hike?

(maybe your post said so, but you used a few weird words I haven't seen before
