Hi Didier,

That is why I will revise them--the ones I put up on Smugmug are without 
any processing, just the JPEGs from the camera, hence the saturated 
colours. I shot RAW, but in RAW mode the camera also gives you a JPEG, 
and those were what I used. I will redo the whole thing based on the RAW 
files.
