I think your getting a variety of responses because the color cast of the shot is fairly close to what one might call neutral. As Godfrey demonstrated scientifically, there's a bit of blue in the whites, but the overall look is certainly within the range of acceptable color. So the aesthetic judgement, using the eye alone, becomes a matter of personal preference. I would call the color cast cool, but nice. I might warm it a touch if it was mine, but again that's personal preference. You're obviously going to get a wide range of answers, because some prefer a slightly warmer look, while others prefer a cooler look. Paul On Jul 6, 2006, at 11:51 PM, Shel Belinkoff wrote:
