Looks familiar :) . . . I always am so impressed how the rows of ridges can gain an almost translucent - tissue paper - look to them on a hazy day. It is hard to capture photographically. I think in this case the distinct treeline and ridge in the foreground create an anchor on which to understand the rest of the image. The blue looks ok to me. Then again, I've seen these mountains look blue, green, magenta, purple, - they change at will :) Cindy

Thanks Techo! My Photoshop is setup correctly and and it does show it in sRGB and the blues look like I want them to. My problem is when I view the thumbnail (which doesn't have a color-profile embedded) or when I view this in a browser that is not color-profile savvy, the blues look a lot different (too cyan). I don't know how to make my computer display images lacking color-profiles correctly. In Mac OS X the OS is requires a color-profile and if one is not available one is assigned. I've set it up to assign sRGB to such images, but they don't seem to display correctly anyway (neither in the OS nor in the Safari-browser)...

Using IE6, the blues look pretty good to me. Opening the image in photoshop yields no difference in color. This is image was saved in the sRGB color profile so perhaps you have Photoshop set to use another type of colorspace and it automatically converts the image's colorspace to AdobeRGB? but it should've prompted you.

btw, Love the photo.

I am having trouble with the color in this image. When I view it in uncompensated color it is too cyan, but when I view it in Photoshop and Safari (both of which take the color profile into account) it displays like I want it to be - blues more towards purple than cyan...
