Tim,
It may be a display problem. I'm using a ThinkPad laptop as my primary PC 
at the moment. (I'm thinking of getting a MAC dedicated just to imaging.) 
On this little LCD monitor I've some tree detail in the foreground (not 
perfect but it is a low res scan from print.) That there is no 'foreground 
water' (just trees and farmland) in the image speaks to how poorly it must 
be displaying on your monitor Tim. This seems to be a common problem that 
I'm having. Photos look ok on my laptop, but are much darker on some other 
monitors. Does anyone have a suggestion for how to make an image uniformly 
display well on the greatest number of viewers monitors? I do have a gray 
scale .gif on my Nature Portfolio page for the adjustment of a monitors, 
but should I place on each page with each image? or is there something else 
that I can do to better the situation? (And I agree that it is incumbent on 
the site owner not the viewer to try to make it easiest for the viewer not 
the other way round.)

Thanks for the comments Tim.
Carpe Luminem,
Michael E. Berube
