To those of you who comment and those of you who post (presumably one and the same), keep in mind that the image you created, either through the use of a camera or computer, that looks so great on your screen when you've finished it and are ready to submit it, may not appear the same way when it reaches it's destination. I have noticed that some of the photos I've submitted to Caedes over the past year can appear darker, have less contrast value, or even appear over-sharpened. And it's not just the Caedes site, it's the internet itself. I recently emailed an image to a Caedes friend in Louisiana and the internet added CA and over-sharpening, making it look quite different from my original. So if you get questionable comments or suggestions that don't make sense ("What are they talking about? It looked fine to me!"), consider that your image might have altered a little without your knowledge, or you see something in an image you're commenting on that obviously needs fixing, it's okay to bring it to the artist's attention, just keep in mind that the problem may not be of the originator's doing. I am not saying that anyone at Caedes is messing with the images -- I think it's something that the technology itself occasionally does... that and the fact that everyone's monitors are adjusted and calibrated differently. Or am I the only one who's noticed this phenomenon?
