I can't help asking - what colors were you struck by? The colors your eyes 
saw in the scene or the extreme distortion of color that you chose to show 
on screen? 

I'm constantly amazed by folks who post color images which have absolutely 
no relationship to what their eyes see. I'm not a purist about the point. 
I'm open to radical color if done with some intentionality or on purpose. 
But I don't understand taking 5000K daylight film into 2800K situations and 
not taking care of the difference when we've got the software to deal with 
it. Did you intend to have such an off-color effect?

I've taken the liberty to adjust your color and posted it here 
<http://www.imagist.com/colors/> while certainly still not perfect, I have 
to assume it more closely relates to what you saw.

Fond regards,

G e o r g e   L o t t e r m o s e r,    imagist?
