I have noticed a number of photos that seem off to me with regards to contrast and or color saturation. It seems likely that this is due to differences in monitors that people are using. I know there are a number of test that can be done to check if a monitor is in calibration, meaning working in sRGB color space, but I thought it might be interesting to do another more subjective kind of test. The images below have been adjusted for both contrast and saturation, I am interested in hearing which of these people think look the best and which they think look the worst. I am using this photo because it has some brightness range as well as a range of colors in it.

I think which people choose may give some insight as to how monitors are setup.

So vote for the best and the worst of these.

a
b
c
d
e
f

I don't like A and E; too blah. I like B and F. Much brighter and interesting.

I agree, even though F looks the most natural.

In order from least to most contrast: e,a,f,d,c,b
C looks best on my monitor. It looks well saturated, the shadows and the color of the water is richer.

B for me... saturation and contrast is about right.
