Does this have a colour cast? Looks like it does on my work monitor, looked super on my home one, must be getting old.

I have to agree Tim, there looks to be a strong cast on this monitor at work.

I've tried to amend it and avoid getting sacked at the same time. Hope it's better.

can't see the first one at all, apparently it is currently unavailable,

on the second one though the whites need to be much, much brighter, perhaps a slight blue cast too, but not alot, nice shot though

Same here Tim . Its not that noticeable to my duff eyes but 'auto colour' in PS ( not a true test I know ) gives a dramatic change in its appearance.Plus the wing leading edges have a blue iridescence to them .Its slightly underexposed with a levels adjustment pulling the whites back .some small amount of clipping in all channels but nothing to drastic .Fantastic close up though. Your original post /flickr link has been lost .

Stll a tad blue in the midtones and shadows I'd say Tim :wink:

Nope too far this time .the highs have gone .255's all over the place.Get levels up and pull your white slider in a tadge.The compression probably aint helping here but the highs are way over now.Oh and the boss says whats that Tim up to.LOL

Nice shot, final one looks great to me. Loads of detail and really nice composition here too.

Had a word with your gaffer and he said he'll change your work monitor. LOL
Much better .

The final linked image looks just superb on my calibrated screen Tim.

I agree with others, the final (linked) version is far and away the best.
