I did score well (102), but was wondering if my submission suffered a bit from monitor differences. Please have a look and tell me if the colour in the eyes is clear and the difference between skin tones is as contrasting as it is on my monitor. Any other comments welcome as well! Thanks.

My monitor is old, needs replacing as it doesn't display v brightly and cannot be calibrated very well. So, on my rubbish monitor this pic looks like it do with a small bump in saturation and a bump in contrast (for that challenge).
It's a very beautiful picture in its own right IMHO. :) |

| Thank you. Anyone else? This might mean that I'll submit some pictures brighter than my taste in the future. |

I see a clear contrast in both eye colour and skin tone. I had a similar problem with this  ... most people could not see the face behind the knife. My monitor is a laptop; Mac iBook G4. I have found that I need to make images look a little too light on my monitor if they are to appear close to my intention on most other people's monitors. |

I've had a look at both images on my monitor ( 19" lcd ) both images show up clearly, the eye colours are quite clear and the skin tones are clear also
On the 2nd image, the face shows up clearly also
While the lcd screen helps I think monitor calibration is equally if not more important, I think when a lot of people comment on things such as contrast, colour and image clarity, and vote down because of these points, they may need to be checking their monitor first. |

If you are concerned about monitor calibration you might want to consider ColorPlus by Pantone. It has the sensor you put on screen to calibrate, etc...
I just installed it a few days ago, amazing the difference.

Company link here: ColorPlus.
They list it as $99.00. I bought it for $72 at Buy.com. Don't know if it's still available there or not.
Take care.
