To anyone familiar with posting:
The colors in this post are way off what I get
in Photoshop and my Epson r2400.
Particularly the reds are way down.
Where did I go wrong with my post?

mr damkot seems to be the resident expert in color management. i can't really help you much in this dept.

Wild guess (well: not that wild ;)): The image isn't in sRGB?
(Probabely ProPhotoRGB comparing FireFox to Safari)

Always convert to sRGB before posting!

Have a read in the link from my sig...

Nice image BTW.

Pictures of people are about faces, usually, so it would be nice to have caught a perspective with both faces. The background is also very busy and is a bit of a distraction from the form. I did Tai Chi for a while (it got me through a very tough time in my life and I highly recommend it for stress) but did not do weapons.

Thanks for the thoughts.
Definitely is ProPhoto.
Will try sRGB next time.
And yes, Taichi helps keep me up and about too.
I have an autoimmune thing that smacks me around from time to time.
Good shooting.

Here is another try with sRGB.

thats one way to settle an argument!

cool shot.. my monitor is a bit too saturated, so the first one looks okay and the revised too saturated. but that's only because i'm calibrated poorly. nice work though!
