That sounds like a spray you use to ward off grumpy old people ( and I want a case of it)!

But I work in print, so this is the kind of thing I look at.

Who said good photography has to look natural?

To me, the photos look over-saturated. That is my opinion regardless. Not that over-saturated in and of itself is bad, but to me, they are close enough to natural to make them look like and over-saturated version of something that should look closer to natural.

This is also dependent on each person's monitor and viewing conditions. What may look over-saturated on my monitor could look OK on someone else's monitor.

If one were to try to print those photos using four-color process (the standard printing process for full-color reproduction), they would be very disappointed when the printed color looks nowhere near what they are seeing on the screen.

Then won't the prize go to Tuolumne?

But just to be sure I guess I'll have to visit them all. And I'll have to return to Zumwalt with Lani since pretty places are prettier to me when I'm with her.

Well, I love Tuolumne as well as Zumwalt, so I am useless in making a choice.

Don't know why it never occurred to me to ask this before, but Kevy, do you guys do art prints by any chance?

No: high volume (10,000 - 50,000,000) print (much of it direct mail marketing).

Yes, they're oversaturated. But except for the meadow photo that is mostly because I prefer that for viewing online (the meadow had issuse and I didn't feel like going back to the original) and since, generally, I am the only one who ever looks at the pictures I'm the one I'm pleasing.

If I were to print any of them I would return to the original files and reprocess with that in mind.

I love that over-saturated look.

Tangent - I read an article about how the over-saturated, hyper-real colors borne of photoshop have become standard among popular Flickr photographers. It talked about how photography and photo editing that's specifically for display on monitors and handheld devices has become something of its own style. New tools, new ways to view photos, new style. There was also a mention of the fact that sometimes pranksters post classic art photos anonymously, and the comments fields fill with people ripping them apart.

There's definitely a huge difference between RGB and CMYK colors. Kevy is surrounded by the latter, so I can see why it would concern him.
