Classic rut picture Paul. Very nice.

I don't know why, but the images I've just posted look more orange on here than they do when viewed on my monitor. I convereted to sRGB. When I view the images on CS, or windows viewer etc they look fine, but they are definately more orange on here. Can anyone suggest why?

No idea about how to fix your problem Paul, but like this image. The oranges and greens go very nicely together :toast: :toast:

Stonking classic shot, one I failed to get again! :(

Are you viewing it here with IE or FF or Chrome?

Orange and green works nicely for me. Only you can judge which looks more faithful to the original.

Hi all, many thanks for the very kind comments. I
'm glad you think colours work well, as they are what I saw, well on my monitor anyway. I NEVER SATURATE MY IMAGES, AND HAVE MY WHITE Balance set to 5500 deg K. Rather than relying on my cameras settings. It's a strange one for me, I might be rusty, not having used my camera and edited images for a while. I naturally assumed I'd done something wrong. I'm hoping to go back to Bushy next weekend, if anyone fancies meeting up?
Cheers,
Paul.

Superb image Paul, a classic shot as Neil has said.

Classic stag photo Paul. The colours look great on my calibrated setup. No nits here. :toast: :toast: :toast:

I'd make sure your using a colour managed browser like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. Internet Explorer doesn't do this, so it may explain the difference when viewing sRGB in LR.
