It is quite a bit darker than the first shot and I do prefer this one. (Gosh now you have me wondering - I will have to look at mine on another monitor!!) Viv

I was just having a quick look at your gallery. No, I don't think so - some might improve a little but I think it is just this particular shot suits the darkness, many would not. See what others say. Viv

Did'nt see the original but this looks good to me if you have photoshop go into control panel and select Adobe Gamma and follow the instructions on the screen you wont be disapointed with the result................Dilwyn

Happy new year to you and Des Ken. Like Alan I have missed your smiling comments.
My monitor at home has always been brighter than the monitor on my Del laptop or the Del screen that plugs into it on my desk at work.
Of your two images the first looks "normal" to me... a sort of straight from Ken's camera look. The second looks as though you have darkened the background and given the leaf a good dose of saturation.
I will take a shot of the two screens and post them.....john
