There is something about the composition that throws me a little, it's nice enough though

"It does present a dilemma, though - how to keep what you want when it can appear so differently on different monitors?"

If you figure this one out let me know. I have one in voting now that on a calibrated monitor has a beautiful bit of detail in a dark area. I submitted it knowing that on crappy LCDs and laptops voters would just see a boring dark area. Making it brighter would have ruined the rest of the photo, so I lived with it. The only solution is different subject matter or forcing voters to get good monitors :(

I thought this might have been yours.

I have a similar issue with monitors. My work monitor is calibrated and the images are slightly, but noticeably less saturated on that one. If the saturation level is important to me on an image, I will take the saturation up a couple of extra notches when editing at home, so it will display closer to what I want on the calibrated screen. There is NO way of accounting for different uncalibrated monitors. The best you can do is to adjust for what it will look like on a properly adjusted screen.

Hi Deb, congratulations on place 36.
Having the sun in the photo & still being able to see the shadow side of everything is pretty difficult.
Well done.

Knew this was yours from the trees... Very rich photo: the round upper fountain shape and the lovely fall/spray of water/droplets and the pigeon approaching (at your command) is a composition in itself, though I must say my second thought here was thank goodness these guys actually seem to be taking a bath.....

Another nice shot, but I preferred the one you entered for the challenge. :)

nice one Deb.

Funny, your comment about the contrast. I recently received a couple of comments about contrast and from where I was standing couldn't see anything wrong. It's tough sometimes with all the different monitors around. I actually disagree with your commenter, this is not lacking contrast on my laptop (which is the monitor I would expect to see it lacking as it is quite bright).

If I had seen this I would probably have guess ed it was you oh pigeon lover. It doesn't lack that much contrast and I'll go so far as to say it's alright as it is. Lovely image that reminds me of a scene in a movie but I can't remember which. A western...
