zeuszenComment by zeuszen: I noted that two comments referred to the 'darkness' of this image. Both original and the submitted versions, really, are far from 'dark'. There 'is' a shadow running up approx. 2/3 of the picture, but even within this area sufficient brightness is retained to ensure the visual data remains uncompromised.
I processed the image on an 2003 eMac with Apple factory calibration, checked it on an Apple G4 Powerbook and a slot-loading iMac, without noticing any deviations.
When I viewed the picture on an older Dell computer owned by the Vancouver Public Library the other day, I could hardly believe my eyes. The image was rendered very dark, the colours were completely off and the detail, particularly in the shadowed lower section, was largely obliterated.
I'm not quite sure yet what to make of this, but I have now checked two further comments as 'helpful', since without them, I would have never found out. Thanks ttreit and timmi.
