    Lovely shot John for my taste the colours are a little saturated, I think one of your problems is that the colour gamut is compressed and you are not getting a full tonal range.
    If you want to send the raw file I will see what can do

    Thanks Jon
    I don't shoot raw. No idea what a compressed colour gamut is anyway.
    In did say I wanted to bring out the colours- the silver especially. I can easily take it back to the normal I think allowing for the use of LED light wwhich was going to give a different effect. I will post a normal one later

    Good sharp macro, like the background and to me it shows off the pearl effect nicely.
    Great eye.

    Much prefer this one - very nice well focused and detailed but the colours still don't look quite right I suspect the colour profiles are mixed up somewhere maybe Diane could help.

    SRGB They can't be anything else. Its the only possible way my workflow can handle it.
    We have been through this many times with Diane and as she said other peoples monitors may still can see things differently.
    The colours are fine in relation to the real thing so theres no point in making them something other than that surely. What is wrong with the colours in your opinion.? In any case as you may know there can be a great range of colours withinn the same species. They vary on the reserve here so no one can judge 100% on a forum posted picture.

    I think we will just go round in circles John, the presented image looks OK when I look in CS6 the colours are way out if I just load it or if I assign srgb.
    The presented image to me looks as if there is an overall green cast - not much, it is such a lovely image I just hoped I could get the colours right as I saw them to see if you agreed. The top and bottom of it all is it is yours and if you are happy then that's fine.
