I like the warm. The cold seems to have its base color taken away from it so
it seems like a skeleton. Its like night shots its been exposed with yellow
street light and when you take that yellow away from it it just rings
hollow. So you have to put yellow back into it again.

I don't consider that to be an issue, just a
