Looks a bit dark on my non-calibrated monitor at work...

It probably is, My thinkpad T60 don't have the best screen, and it is not calibrated...so if it looks good on your monitors, it is probably on the money...

See, I've seen that shirt color before and it does look flat, live I mean. So yeah, I guess you captured it faithfully, where did you meter this shot?

The shot was perfectly exposed, I was suprised myself. I toned down the saturation to make a colder look. Added a little light fall-off at the edge to concentrate the attention on the subject.

The lighting was a low sun with the 24-105 and a polarizer.
The color in the original are superb, saturated and contrasty.
But I was looking for a colder/older look.

I can see the polarizer effects by looking at the sky, albeit it doesn't look like you were at the 90 deg angle from the sun...oh well...looks good, man.
