Can you guys look at the colours of my photo here and tell me if it looks washed out to you? The red leaves look strong, vibrant, and rich yet not oversaturated and the green background is a medium shade of green at home, but at work, the pic just looks washed out. Everything is lighter and unsaturated.
My monitor at home is calibrated, but I did a bit of freeware gamma calibration on the monitor here at work, so there shouldn't be such a massive difference.
They look a little washed out to me, hard to tell what you see or me, everyones monitor has been seasoned to taste. Could use a little more saturation and contrast, a little more pow!
E D Thanks for the nice words,
you too X, a ref?, funny no but I was in the first row about twenty/twenty-five feet from the endzone. Fantastic seats since it seemed most of the game was played at my end.
Andy, interesting lighting, Look a little Bruce Willisish.
E - the bokeh is what it is. . it was altered slightly with my edits, but really its just a kit lens at about F8 - its not the best bokeh, but really, if you let bokeh go life gets soooo much better. (Side note: pine needles or bare branches at a distance don't make good BG bokeh either )
