Hello Adrian,

The composition of your picture is nice, but I think it would benefit more if you tweaked the colors a bit in Photoshop. I am not an expert, but here goes:

1) Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Levels
2) Click Ok
3) Enter Input Levels of 0, 1.00, 150
* This brightens the exposure.
4) Click Ok
5) Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Channel Mixer
6) Click Ok
7) In the Output Channel: Red
Make Red= 144, Green= -22, Blue= -22
Press Ctrl 2 to go to Green Channel
Make Red= -22, Green= 144, Blue= -22
Press Ctrl 3 to go to Blue Channel
Male Red= -22, Green= -22, Blue= 144
8) Click Ok
9) Layer>Flatten Image

That's it! This may look tedious to do, but it will really make your pictures stand out. :)

Hope this helps!

Regards,

Pierre
