I like it - their lovely jumpers make it work!

In my CRT, the colors in the sweaters are not so vivid. Don't know if that was your intention. The rest seem fine to me.

nferreira: yep, that was intentional, though I think I could probably have made them a little more colourful.

Great to see you posting again, and great to see the kids again =) Great images to start the year off! All around just great.

drives me nuts that my LCD makes all my photos look great (well as great as they can be) and viewing them on my work CRT makes them look "bleh"...ugh!!!

As to this one....i love what you did with the coloring of the entire photo, but yeah, my work CRT shows the shot lacking some contrast...the whites dont seem as white....im sure when i view on my LCD at home, this picture will POP!

Looks great on my laptop monitor. Though it becomes a little dull in my CRT monitor, overall it looks great. I especially like Harmony's facial expression and Rhowan's hair color.

The story line is brilliant Dave ....show us the next shot

I'm looking at this on my laptop and it looks great! I prefer the subdued colours to the two other versions.

Very nice. I love that one. Great processing.

Looks the same on my LCDs (MacBook Pro and iBook—both with matt LCDs!) and CRTs (iMacs) (disregarding minor things like flatness of the tube/reflectiveness of the screen/brightness of backlighting, etc.).

Since I started calibrating everything with a Spyder, the differences between them all are far less apparent, and the colour and contrast are dramatically better – and closer – than even the most careful manual calibration could achieve.

Anyway, nice to see you back! And I'm picking up my 70–200 f2.8 in the week: you’re a bad influence, DJN... :)

p.s. meant to mention that the MacBook Pro is much brighter than any of the others...!

I've got an overly bright lcd and this looks very subdued.
I like it though.

you really tell a story with your last photos -> very nice

I liked the shot on my laptop, the jackets were more subdued than two days ago but a better match to the tones of the pic. On my Monaco-corrected CRT, there isn't a lot of percieved difference (I don't have them side-by-sied), but the shot is a little flatter, which is better because there is much more subtlety across the greys of the wood.

Just as innocent as yesterday! Great image.

I think the toning is just wonderful - I'd call it subtle rather than flat or dull!

With LCD and CRT side by side it shows me that I need to calibrate the CRT!
Definitely brighter and slightly more saturated on the LCD though, which is calibrated (with Eye-One).
Good to see you back - and good luck with the new ventures in 2007!

Looks great to me, on my LCD, but I prefer the b&w image posted prior; the pinks are a little too distracting for my taste.

On my crt the colours are are a little dull and not quite so vibrant. I'm liking the series so far!

Well... here in The Netherlands on my Mac it's looks great ;-) Excellent (action)picture of her.

I use lcd screen and the colors are vivid but still i like the it. It is kind of desaturated and goes well with the mood of the picture.

great capture. Sure your kids going to enjoy seeing the beautiful captures when they grow up.

I like this one best of the three so far - I love the colours. Muted, yes, but somehow right.

Marvelous photoblog.
I go add your feed!

The colours look great on my laptop! Muted but wonderfully realistic.

I liked the black and white version. The selective saturation in this pic is not working for me.

I enjoyed this and the previous two as a set. Play and interplay. I love the contrasts in confidence.

Hello, is it just me or has the comments section for the origianl disappeared? I can't find "comments 23" or whatever yet on the rest the comments are accessible. Conspiracy?

No, definitely cannot access the comments for the original of this Dave.

looks like you may have desaturated it and then painted the sweater back???

I think it looks AWESOME!

I am a big fan of your talent!

Very nice image, so cute. I like colors and tones.

Cute doesn't start to describe this picture. Her sweaters really stand out in the monochromatic surroundings. Looks wonderful on my screen, if you ask me.

I love all of your photos of your children especially. They are the most beatiful and natural models you could ask for. I enjoy the starkness of this shot, with the bright, bold colors of their sweaters jumping out. Great shot!

I really like this photo better than the last one. the girls pink makes them stand out more. And I love the expression on your younger daughter's face!

I am wondering if the two little lizard heads were put there on purpose. the Lizards look like they are having a look around and a wonder around as well as the young girls.

Very lovely capture :-)

Cute. love the way you colored this.

looks great on my LCD and CRT ! very nice series!

Very nice colours ! Congratulations for your work. I like the HDR series also !

I'm familiar with the laptop LCD differences to CRT. It's really frustrating.

All you can trust is the histogram.

great shot! the feel of this picture is very comforting

It's really great. I like it! Very nice shot and depth!

Looks awesome to me David, I think this is my favourite of the 3 shots of the little cutie, I particularly like the way you edited this shot.
