Very interesting series!

I agree with Jeff - these are interesting photos. They are perhaps slightly over-exposed, but for me it only really matters for the last one - probably about 1 stop over, giving the skin tones a rather too pale appearance. It would be easy to rectify, using mainly the simple controls available in all imaging software - brightness, contrast and colour. As an example -

   

Just my opinions, of course. Smile
Cheers.

I use an 24" iMac and as far as I can see the skin tones are as I saw them that day.
I do have the brightness turned down on the iMac, so possibly yes. They may be.
Remember though it is winter in the UK and today (for instance the temperature is 3C)
So the summer tans quickly fade. Wink

Unfortunately, I recall them!! good captures, liked the Instrument Panel, again recall the capability to open the windscreen.
Agree with Philip, it shows particularly on the women wearing the hat, behind.
My take, not posted, was even tighter than Philips.
Did you do any post processing. Ed.

No PP EdMak.

I still say Phillip's edit gives both the old ladies a suntan from three weeks in the canaries.
My wife took some on the ZX200. I will see how hers look, and post if I can.

Jeff, my first car was a Austin or Morris. Bigger than the 7. Might be an 8 or 10. Sun roof, fold up windows, running boards. Starting handle.

Then the conclusion would seem to be that the iMac monitor is incorrectly set! Smile

Or your monitor/ PC, Philip.
Or just maybe your profiles are different to mine. Smile

What is your profile set to? Ed.

It is doubtful that profiles are relevant here, as there is a simple tonal mismatch within this group of photos. The skin tones of the people in #1, #3, and #4 look natural (and healthy!) to me. All the people in #5 are quite pale by comparison, which is why I would guess that photo is over-exposed by about 1 stop.

However, as I wrote in Post #3 - just my opinions, of course, (although based on the observable evidence). And sometimes we will just disagree. Smile

Cheers.
