Nice, Jeremy, though I suspect a saturation push in post.

But not pushed too far, IMHO.
Nice.

Thanks, Russ (and Eric), but all the saturation sliders are plumb centre. I keep forgetting that "as shot" WB will tend to give a very red look at that time of the evening. Fiddling with the white balance reduces the effect, of course.

Just remember, Jeremy, that Russ is used to looking at Street photos, the best of which are usually in black and white, so the presence of coolor may seem to him like a saturation push.   ;)

Great capture. I find the colors appealing, but I tend to like a bit o'color.

Jeremy,

I don't think you have to defend your choice of the way you present your image.  As Eric once advised me - shoot for yourself, that's what's is important.  IMO much of the critique we see here is about style.  You are free to choose your own style.  You have presented a very nice scene.  I like the colour as well but my colour vision is is troubled with a red deficit and a green anomaly.  :)

Me too.
Maybe that's why Chuck and I can agree so often.  ;)

I think you're right, Chuck. My comment was intended more as an explanation than as an excuse. Thanks for the comment!
