If this is how your photos look straight out of the camera, I suggest you have a look at the settings and the manual.

That is looking better, but still a little too green, if you go to My profile, and look at my albums, I have uploaded some screen shots on how to improve the colour cast using curves.
The photos are in the wrong order, but numbered 1.2.3
good luck

Go to;
My Stuff
my contest entries
find this entry and click on ;
edit entry
Then just enter the line in the description box, no need to upload the entry again, even though you can't see it in the upload box.

I'm not trying to be difficult, but some people get finicky, if all the guidelines aren't followed.
Good Luck

Great image, but a little flat, looks underexposed. A fill flash would have been great here, but I imagine that you can't reshoot.
One thing you can try, if you have Photoshop, is to increase the contrast using Unsharp Mask.
Put the RADIUS up to Max 250, and reduce the amount to between 30-50%

Try lightening it a little and warm up, eg. increase reds, at present it does not look like something I would like to eat.

It might be a good idea to increase contrast and saturation in this image.

Interesting treatment, I don't think the desaturation does anything for this image.

I have a little image saying, "wrong image, hold votes", that I upload in cases like this. It gives me a chance to re-shoot or find an other image, without having my image removed or attracting really low votes.
Mind you you will be surprised how many people will vote on the sign. Good Luck

Nice set-up but too light. The highlights are blown, look at the leaves, and the chocolate and strawberries look a little flat. I'm sure you have eaten them by now, see what you can do. Good Luck

I love the misty mountains, personally I would crop the image a little below the road, which will give more emphasis to them.

I like the warm tones, but they might be a little overdone, so even the print on the can has lost it's white.

seems like you missed the focus on the nail and got the moss instead, have you got more shots, or can you re-shoot?

I love how you have turned the image upside down, and the focus on the right nail, just wish it has included the left one.

The warm colours makes it almost too pretty, a little darker and more contrast, would be better, IMO
