I noticed the purple cast to the leaves for the first time this morning
since it had been grossly amplified by Firefox having somehow lost track
of my monitor profile. I think that's been happening for a while now
and explains some strange color happenings here lately.
Anyhow, after correcting the monitor profile I noted the purple cast on
some of the leaves was still there but much more subtle and not in
clearly in my face. I decided that I was once again going to comment
about the blue cast of the image but decided maybe you really like blue
casts to shadowed images. Besides, it could all be a figment of the
color imagination of the Krappy Kolor laptop. In any case it's a really
nice image. And despite what Marnie might say I was never really
bothered by the leaf. :-)
