I did as you often do - I copied the image and just brighted it a bit and felt it helped.

Thanks for pointing that out Gregg.

Some of this may be attributable to differences among monitors, even those that have been calibrated to a standard. When calibrated, a monitor will come as close as possible to the standard, but there's no guarantee that it actually reaches the standard. The monitor on my iMac is pretty nice, but it's not really suited for graphics professionals - so it's entirely possible that what you see, is different than what I or others see.

We do what we can (save files in sRGB, attach an ICC profile, and hope that people use a browser which supports ICC profiles) but in the end (fortunately), it's the print which matters - especially for photos like this, where much of the aesthetic content is the tonality itself.

Great capture Darren! I can see you getting there hours in advance to "stake-out" your spot and waiting with your finger on the cable release for the sun to drop just a tad below the arch. Good exposure!

Very nice indeed! :) I have a shot on 6x17 similar to this, although in mine the sky is a little darker and lacks the smooth gradiation between light and dark that your image exudes.

Outstanding.. One of the better renditions I've seen of this location. Not surprisingly, most of the shots of this I've seen are panoramics that capture the entire arch, I find this view more pleasing, it gives the sense of being there better I feel. This is strange for me as panoramics are 'my thing' usually, but this works better as 4x5.

Job well done. You must have been happy when that tranny first hit the light table! :)
