Is it just me, or are the colours in this photo really really stuffed up? I'm having trouble viewing photos properly on this computer, might be just that...but it looks really bad, like everything that used to be a soft creme yellow has turned into a hard, bright yellow, the white has turned grey. How on earth did that happen? I scanned it and auto balanced it in Photoshop yesterday (normally I don't have access to a proper scanner or Photoshop..but I got help from someone..) and it looked fine. Now it all just looks...strange! Is it just me, or does it look like that for you too? ~M~

Is this any better? ( although I don't see anything wrong with the original)

I agree with a1000. The problen must be with your computer. Have you checked the monitor settings. If someone has been gaming they may have been changed. Nice pic too. The bottom one has more contrast and is a little sharper.

Yeah, thanks a1000, that looks great. Funny that, the colours were strange on 2 different computers I use but now they look normal again. Thanks. I just redid this pic in B/W today..I must say I like it much better that way...I'll post that in the gallery once I get it scanned.
