No Lonnit, it is really faint. When Penny said she couldn't see it, I began to doubt what I was seeing. Until Vikas confirmed there was colour I was not sure if I was seeing things. For example, I now think I may be wrong about the coat colour.

I think there is a really interesting psychological phenomenon happening here. Penny questions is it B&W? So I see that as a challenge to find colour and I find it. You see someone saying it is colour, and so find it also. If Vikas would have said it was greyscale, I would simply believe I had a slight pink cast to my screen. My colorimeter is notorious for delivering a slight pink cast on the Mac.

But as things stand, I now think my screen and eyes are working pretty good!

Oh, yeesh! You think I would have mentioned how nice this is! ~ Lonnit

I'm not sure if I'm imagining the color! Ok, knowing the red is in the umbrella, I do see a faint bit of pink. I think maybe there's pink in the pants... Maybe my eyes had to adjust first. I don't think I would have known the color was there without being told. Perhaps my monitor is off a bit too? ~ Lonnit

Thanks Penny and Najinsky, appreciate it.

This photograph is in colour though since it was snowing and misty, it is predominantly monotone except for the umbrellas and the clothes.

Cheers, Vikas.

I must need to reset my monitor because, even at home, I still don't see color.
Argh.

Penny, I can see colour. Red umbrella, pink trousers and possibly a red coat (the girl).

Vikas, this fits the framing very nicely and I like the de-saturation caused by the mist. Regards -Najinsky

Is this also not black and white? (the other one, looking closely, I think I could see some color but here? - I don't think so) -either way, this is ethereal.
