Hi, Shel. I can't vouch for the accuracy of the colour rendition, since I
wasn't there when you took the photo, but it seems nice enough on my
monitor (which has never been calibrated to any particular standard, just
FYI). I love the way that the red of the trees comes across as delicate
and almost etherial. Subtle, and it works for me. I find the contrast
between the white trunks and branches of some of the trees and the rest of
the trees themselves to be a little overpowering, but I'm not sure how
much of that is the scan and how much is in the original. Other than
that, I find the rest of the photo to have quite a low contrast, which
works well to set off the glowing white cross. The foreground colours do
set themselves off nicely from the background without being gaudy,
IMO. What's with the yellow leaves on the 'flower' in the
foreground? The three on the left look darker and more out of focus than
the others, and yet the blue flower on the right seems mostly in focus and
it looks further back. Am I imagining that?
