    Yes, too dark and blacks appear clogged up. Would love to see the mum's eye lightened as well.

    Caught a very funny pose, well done!

    Respectfully , IMHO it is always better to keep OP and add repost as reply , Now all the comments made above are useless :)

    Well I suppose I must be, I think I would prefer to wait for you to get your screen up and running and you can see what you have posted.

    I didn't see the original, but this one still appears a little dark because of the sky. Can't do much to brighten the cheetahs
    (some of the highlights are already clipped) except to open the shadow details with S/H. But as Ken suggested to me by email,
    a blue sky might help ... and I think it does. :cool: A great moment, by the way! Proud mama watching her little one cavort. Love it!

    Hi Ken

    Do keep the original as suggested by Harshad .. any comments based on the image will make no sense !!

    Best approach is calibrate your monitor after installing the system and maybe just take image just for viewing color, contrast etc and post in ETL When I make drastic changes that is what I do to see how its showing on other computers. btw what browser are you using? IE seems to be the worst one.

    ...maybe Davids repost will give you a point of reference, don't think is a calibration issue entirely.
