I found this tiny plant growing among water-smoothed stones on The Merced River in Yosemite and thought it fits with current WC.

The stones were wet from dew. Did I capture that? Does the color balance work for you? I ask because working with color negative film, scanning, and processing is difficult.

Hi Preston,
The color looks great to me. Somebody else probably has a better monitor though 
Yeah, I like the dewy rocks. I can imagine someone preferring a little less glare on the one to the left, but not sure how to reduce that without a polarizer in the field.

Absolutely. An excellent survival adaption here, Preston. I might clone out the very, very, tiny green plant in the LLC keeping the entire thought of survival with the main larger plant here. Just a thought… 
@Marylynne_Diggs makes a good point and wonder if you have the NIK plugin? The Polarizer in it helps with after the fact. I know only too well having missed usages in the field too… 
Preston: Really good find and a fine capture. My first thought was to look at your specs to see if you used a polarizer, especially after noting that @Paul_Breitkreuz used one in his cactus image. I was unaware that there is an effective post processing polarizer. I may have to check that out. Nicely done overall.>=))>
Nice find! I tried my last-century method of a PS masked adjustment layer for Curves. (I’m going to wear out my masking tool any day now…)
Preston, this little green plant stands out from the surrounding rocks. The dew is a fine extra. Having put a fair amount of time into scanning slides and adjusting colors, with very limited success, I’m sympathetic to that challenge. As Diane shows, you can tone down the brightest rocks by burning-in through a lights 2 mask (only effects the brightest ~1/4 of the tones).
