Big Sur Shoreline... COLOR OK?

Too blue on my monitor. It's also tilting to the left.
Nice depth of field.

I can still see the haze but if it was there, then show it. I'd agree with Thomas' two comments but the slight blueness doesn't bother me and I like the slightly muted colours. Maybe that is the hazy day effect but if so it's worked in your favour.

Slides can so easily look over the top in terms of colour saturation. Like 1950s technicolor Westerns or dare I say it, like the Dick Tracy primary comic colours so beloved of our digi friends.

I think that it is too cyan. Actually cyan would be a color that would cool things down. I would back out about 5-10 units of cyan and see how it looks to you then.

I agree with Donald.

It is a natural reaction to try and deal with haze (which can appear quite red) by adding cyan. IMHO the haze looks better than the correction for it.

It may be a bit too blue, but the color really reminds me the color work in the "Edward Weston Color Photography" exhibit catalogue that I recently found. I actually like the cyan.

The tilt is a little distracting, but not that bad IMO.

odd, I never really noticed the tilt before. I will rescan it and see how much i have to work with.

maybe it's too blue, but it sure does jump out at me as being true to life. I don't know why but I think if you warm it up some it'll look like the postcards, if you leave as is it looks like real life.
