Two, whether he guessed or not, when we look at an image, we may like the color; we may think we know precisely when and where an image was taken and that that's the color and light we expect to see in that setting. But the reality is that if we weren't there, we simply don't know if the color is or isn't correct. We never know the precise time an image was taken; we never know what is outside the frame that might be reflecting light and effecting the color. So Philipe may well have guessed correctly - but that in no way negates the point that we don't really know a damn thing about the accuracy of color representation unless it's so grossly off that we know that the given colors simply wouldn't occur in 'nature' in the area in which the photo was shot. Again, I was in no way criticizing your image, which I love - it's definitely one of those 'I wish I had shot that' images. (Although I'd like to see it in black and white. ;-) ) B. D.
