Review: Better usage of color

Just downloaded another of Dan's books.  Again he has a winner. He starts off with a review of composition rules (thanks, I need all the reminders I can get).  Then he gets into the color aspect, showing examples of a normal color shot then a boosted color shot.  May just have to go into my photo archives, pick out a few shots and really boost the color on some to get a more artistic look - maybe even convert some to black and white or antique them in sepia.I also like the section on portraits where he recommends everyone in the photo wear the same or at least similar color to make the photo less distracting.  I will have to remember this if, as I said in some other reviews, I actually do take the portraits for my church directory next year.Towards the end Dan also has a section of using filters to add color or to bring out more color.  I received a set of filters for Christmas and now I know I just have to experiment with them this summer to see what kind of results I get.  Now I know I have to find a good high spot in town to try for sunsets.Thanks, Dan, for the instruction to use color more than just by snapping a shot.
