Allan, just when I thought your colours couldn't look any weirder, you posted these. Have you calibrated your moniter lately?

Great composition! Who doesn't love images of trains! I do though agree with trainboy regarding the colors.

Rich colour? You REALLY need to get your monitor calibrated, those colours do not look natural whatsoever!

I have to agree. Did you apply any Fill Light processing to these?

Interesting shots Alan, but the color is all over the place.

I agree, the colors are off. In some of them it looks like excessive "shadow/highlight" use.

Those BNSF engines and some of the UP seem like they're a bit blown out. Dial the exposure back a touch. I had a similar problem a while back and that helped during post-processing. Can I give a tweak of one or two a try?

Hmm, only the cloudy shot looks anything like normal. What are all your camera settings that are related to colour?
