Hi, I took this photo on auto bracketing (so have better exposed versions) i like how the over exposure simplifies the colours. Any thoughts?

I think the fz30 over saturation of reds and blues works well in this case

It would be easier to answer your question if we could compare this with the other shots.

Sorry, i guess you do need the other shot.

Looking now there is less difference - i think it was more apparent at night on the monitor.

It could just be my monitor [I'm at work now ;-)] but I prefer the second one. The blue in the building looks a little more saturated than it does in the first one. I think the boat looks a little richer too.

If you were trying for a more muted effect, you'd probably need to desaturate the photo rather than underexposing. That way you can control the intensity of the colors.

thanks - i hadnt thought of undersaturating the colours to get the washed out "tired" look
