Color seting on the diving video?

[Sharp]

I made the new video from our Easter dive. When I was editing the video I made two different version. First one (http://www.pasilensu.com/video/valkiajarvi_02_04_2010_narration.wmv)have the original colors and second (http://www.pasilensu.com/video/fixed_valkiajarvi_02_04_2010_narration.wmv)videos colors have fixed with the editing program. I couldn´t decide which one I like more. How about you, which do you like more?

File size is 58Mt/video.

Here is Youtube versio (http://www.youtube.com/user/syvapurppura?feature=mhw5)which have original colors.

I prefer the color of the original. Pulling up the reds and squashing the green creates an un-natural looking color. I could see a tiny bit of color correction but the color corrected one here I think goes a little too far and almost looks black and white in places. The fact is that the water probably was pretty green looking, so it's going to be hard to remove that color and still look "right."

I like the funky music! I'm impressed that you did 90 minutes in that water but I'm also surprised that it was only 37 degrees!

I think the "fixed" version was pushed a bit to far. Your blacks became dark reds. There is less contrast in the fixed version as well.

Thank you for you feedback Jonathan and tkelly.

Now when I have looked those videos many times I do like also my self more the original. Water is really green and I like that it natural that way. But I still would like to low down a little bit of green color. I still did the third version (http://www.pasilensu.com/video/4_valkiajarvi_02_04_2010_narration.wmv)where I put -40% less only green color. I didn´t used any automatic putton and i didnt touch blue and red colors. I am most happy of that version. I also like that funky music. I have those to select on my Magix editing program.

90 minute is very long dive in so cold water. Even I have two gloves under my drycloves my hans are getting cold first. Especially when I am shooting when the air is not sirculating so well in side of the cloves. We changed the camera with my buddy so we got change to warm up pur hands by rubbing those together and some warm up movements.
