Okay, so i have my personal website and my flickr site... I just uploaded the SAME images to flickr as to my site..on flickr they look like the color they should be...on my site..not so much.... I defintely used sRGB ... but check this out... http://flickr.com/photos/scotteisenphotography/2237948268/ for that image...then go to www.scotteisenphoto.com/ftrevere/ and all the photos are different.... any ideas why?

I don't think there's a difference in the images themselves but I do think the fact that one is over white while the other is over black and larger affects how you perceive the quality. I cringe when I look at something exported from Lightroom in Windows Explorer (white background) but it always looks much, much better once it's on PBase or Zenfolio and over black.

You might want to try cutting out a black mask to hold over your flickr version and a mask from white paper to hold over your website version and see what you think.

I agree that it is most likely the difference in the screen backgrounds.

I took a print screen of both and resized the one off your site to match the one on flickr. They look identical.
