Wow great looking male. Where did you get him from?

Saturation is the secret to making photos really "pop". No matter what the subject is. Of course, if you overdo it it's pretty obvious. I like 10-15%.

That first pic is very nice

Those are nice pics and a beautiful male Festae.

But what is saturation? I have an Olympus Stylus 1030 SW. Is it something I can adjust on my camera?

 

[Modest_Man]

It's an option in Photoshop, or pretty much any photo editing software.

It really makes photos "POP" with vivid color. All the editing books and digital photography books I've read lately have recommended using it to get that professional "wow factor".

Pretty cheesy but it works wonders!
