Rod, This is just a "back bench" snipe and not intended as a serious exception to your remarks, but it makes me wonder how "color balance" concerned I should have been over my decades of shooting slide film. Guess I didn't know any better, so was blithely unaware and, generally, accidentally pleased. ;-)) Extremely strong colors of compositional elements can be disturbing, but an innate sense of "balance," I suppose, can unknowingly allow for them.
