First, Thank you so much for taking the time and making the effort to comment on
all the PUG entries this month! I find it quite interesting and most
instructive to read someone else's comments after I have view the photos and

Thank you, Frank - I'm flattered!!
Being the photographer, I can nit-pick the shot with such things as I wish
the falling snow were more obvious, that I were a few steps to the left,
etc. I was deliberately looking to demonstrate the winter coat of these
animals, and how that changes their
shots in for February.
Best Regards,

there are lots of great opportunities in the rain, but I just don't feel

Sh!t yes! Get a copy of Photoshop or something else that allows color spaces to
be viewed and try it. The difference between sRGB (the default standard) and
Adobe RGB is substantial, providing, of course, you have a decent monitor and

Teasing aside, does colour space really make that much of a difference in
how a PUG photo will look? What will change? What is the default colour
