Hi everyone, many thanks for the feedback on my last post! . Tonights post is not exactly in keeping with the time of year, but I ain't been out much of late! . Taken last year at Bushy Park, in the low misty light of morning. A large Red Stag, giving it some!.. This is my 1st processing effort with my new monitor, and Lightroom 4, all C&C's most welcome.
Regards to all,
Paul.

I live next to Bushy park in Hampton and jog almost daily through the park! Nice atmospheric shot.

I agree with all above regarding the picture Paul ie. its a great image, fantastic detail, great expression on the stag, excellently composed and I love the mist. On my screen however it is appearing just a little bit light. Is it me?, as old Tel would say.

Hi Robert,
That I can't be sure of, all I know is my Monitor has been calibrated using Color Munky, along with some professional guidance. What I see now, is a world away, with my old monitor. I know that Monitors are set way too bright generally.
Regards,
Paul.

Great shot, Paul, love the mist and the super sharp detail in the larger version! Cliff
very nice Paul, processing looks good too (although I'm not sure that's reassuring for you as I'm viewing this on an uncalibrated monitor )
I find the whole issue of monitor calibration a bit of a nightmare. I use 2 monitors side by side at home, both calibrated, yet images sometimes look quite different on each. I've increasingly realised that it's impossible to know how my images look on other people's monitors. My highly scientific approach is to check my images on my 2 calibrated monitors, on an uncalibrated monitor and sometimes on my Ipad - if they look roughly OK on all of them I figure my images will look OK to most people.
Colours look perfectly natural to me Paul.
This is a great shot, well composed with perfect DOF.
It's not my monitor that needs calibrating, it's my eyes ;o)
