dont redo the gallery dude, just fix it for from now on. Who knows, maybe all our monitors are the ones that are screwed up, and only yours and Alpha's (lol, suckah punch to the gut Fred!) are working right. post some of these soon. Also, you work with a darkroom ever? I got a nifty little trick I havent shared with many (HURRY UP WITH IT JOVAN!!) that i would liket o see what the results would be in colour...

Do you really have to pick and choose..? Well, surely do it and produce some lovely singular images, but your contact sheet looks very beautiful to me, with all the variations and repetitions... Maybe they need to be arranged tidier with equal spaces between them (but this is just my obscession, and they surely may not need also), and the work in total should be larger... ...But, it would have been an exciting experience to see such a "forest in pieces" work printed in large format (maybe exaggeration, but I'm thinking of a format with at least 1.5 m in hight) and hung up on an exhibition wall... :)

Looks like some really nice shots in there & they do create a great effect all together like that. Being on a Mac I understand the gamma problem, I like my monitor the way it is but if I use graphics converter & look at the same image with Mac & Windows gamma settings I realise most people see something very different & have to go for something between the two.

I agree with Doruk about the multiple images looking great! I think the individual images full size also merit attention though!! Not too sure about Gamma and such like as I really am an ignoramus! :-)>

Slynky - I spent my teenage years in a B&W darkroom, (which maybe explains a lot of things...). Tried color darkroom, and compare it with watching paint dry wearing a blindfold. You folks may talk me into B&W again. Bev -You've hit the issue exactly, I like the way my monitor looks. (I also started with a Mac). I'll run some experiments.

It looks like you've got some great shots in there Misha...I like Doruk's idea too. I think we all like our monitors the way they are....it's scary to start playing around with the gamma....especially if you make your prints on a printer you start playing around and you could screw everything up. At least that's my feeling...I could be wrong.
I am, therefore I create.......

I like how you've done this--I've really been enjoying these snow scenes since theres about the same chance of it snowing in hell before it does here. :D I hate that whole gamma problem too lol. Every image probably looks slightly different to everyone and I cant say that I've noticed any over exposure in yours.
