And I'm wondering about the color calibration, what do you people think? All opinions are appreciated. This was a brand new and very blue paint job, by the way. Thanks

Thanks Joe, it looks different on this new one I have, brighter, more vibrant actually than it did on my other one, just wondering if it's my eyes.

It looks nice but a bit blueish... not only the boat but also the trees on the waterfront in the background. I do not have a calibrated monitor but I think mine comes pretty close.

That's the reflection from the water. I've seen it at my cabin. Even with your eyes everything in the distance looks blue.

Look at the girl's sweater. Very pink. Her hair is nicely blonde as well. And the white looks very white on my laptop.

I tend to agree that there is a green/blue cast going on here. My LCD is calibrated and the sweater looks far from very pink and her hair is bordering on the color of a gold bar. The pic is also very dark.

Thank you all for your your opinions, most have confirmed my thoughts about the blue. The girl's hair is very gold in person and the sweater she was wearing was a salmon color and what little can be seen of skin seems to have the correct tone even the life ring and light buoy above it seem right, but that blue. something isn't right here. Once again, thank you.

I'm not sure what software you are using to do your editing, but most major programs have a tool built in to correct color cast. On a calibrated monitor, there is a slight blue color cast visible in the white of the upper hull. It isn't extreme and the image is certainly not dark on a calibrated monitor. If your editing software supports it....you typically just click on something in the image that should be black or white and the software corrects the color issue. This is close enough that I wouldn't lose a lot of sleep over it.
