    While this is getting a bit off topic, increasing the saturation for
    thumbnails is an interesting concept. I will have to try that one.
    Thanks.

    Hmmmm... comparing the two, on my monitor the modification looks
    over-exposed and stark. If it was indeed such a bright scene, the sky and
    water would be quite blue. Maybe its just my monitor though, but you have
    given me an idea: I'll try lightening and increasing the contrast of the
    foreground (Levels). What do you think? Thank you for your attention to
    this-- I appreciate your time.

    Perhaps not the foreground that may lighten the trees which frame the
    picture when dark. Then again, I don't know how the photo software
    figures out the difference between fore and middle ground. Is simply
    taking more pictures, or cropping harder not feasible? It is snowing
    today, so I would not be able to redo a nice spring shot if it were local.

    My software hasn't a clue about foreground/background; I would do this
    manually.
    But, I think you have the right idea about taking more pictures. This one
    was taken in late afternoon, and is facing north/. To get the setting, one
    must stand with a hill of tall conifer trees immediately behind him (no
    light). Perhaps I should get down there in the moring and try some different
    exposures. The season isn't really important unless you're looking for
    flowers and bathing suits/muscle shirts; most everything stays green
    year-round here. The same shot from the water is disappointing-- too many
    houses on the shore.

    Hey WaterSpider, (and any one else)
    Please make suggestions as to what I can do to make this site very
    pleasing to the eye and professional. I want it to be my best website.
    it is still in the subdomain. www.saveourbees.creationtidbits.com

    Thanks,

    My first thought upon seeing the page is the same background color but
    in a nice soft texture instead of just plain color.

    Hmmm, like a sheetrock type of thing? I am getting PhotoShop CS2 on
    Monday, and I will finally be able to do stuff. Any examples?
